I can't eat; anything
Without shoving my hands down my throat
And I refuse to leave the world without smearing on makeup
With my hair blinding my eyes
Whoaaaaa
Blinding my eyes

[Chorus]
I can't remember
The last time I've seen my own eyes
Or the color of my skin
Do you know
What it's like to feel ugly all the time

I stretch myself across the world
Pushing my limits for your entertainment
And you had the nerve
To call out my weaknesses
And drag me through the dirt

[Chorus]

[Repeat x2]
Whoaaaa
Whoaaaa

[Repeat x4]
I'm staring in the mirror
Looking back at the person I hate

I can't remember
The last time I've seen my own eyes
Or the color of my skin
Do you know
What it's like

[Chorus]

Whoaaa
Whoaaa

The color of my skin
Do you know
What it's like to feel ugly all the

    General Comment:It isn't about Bulimia. I'm sure that is just a metaphor. Look deeper into the lyrics and you will know. Of course, It could be about anything that you want it to be because it could fit into someone's life who is, But I think that the song uses a lot of metaphors for meanings. The song is all about hating yourself as a person. No matter what you battle in your life.

    General Comment:This song is amazing. It reaches out to so many people. I mean let's be honest who hasn't at some point in there lives hated who they were. It's a great song that let's people know that they're not alone, brings back the purpose of music.

    General Comment:"I can't eat; anything
    Without shoving my hands down my throat"

    I think that part is about people who make themselves be sick after eating for attention or something, maybe they think its cool or whatever.

    "And I refuse to leave the world without smearing on makeup
    With my hair blinding my eyes"

    This sounds to me like a reference to emo's, espesially with the part about hair blinding their eyes.
    This would all go with my earlier attention seeking point.

    General Comment:This song IS about Sonny. He did suffer from bulimia. The lyrics are pretty much self explanitory, about how he never was satisfied with himself or his appearance.
    "And I refuse to leave the world without smearing on makeup with my hair blinding my eyes" -- He's trying to cover up himself and make himself invisible so no one would put him down more than he was putting himself down, hence the line "And you had the nerve to call out my weakness".
    And I would also like the say that I absolutely loveee this song :)
