Sophie cannot finish her dinner
She says shes eaten enough
Sophies trying to make herself thinner
Says shes eating too much
And her brother says, "Youre joking,"
And her mothers heart is broken
Sophie has a hard time coping
And, besides, Sophies hoping
CHORUS
She can be like all the other girls
Be just like all the other girls
Living in an ordinary world
Just to fit in, in the ordinary world
Just to fit in like an ordinary girl.

Sophies losing weight by the minute
How did things get this bad?
Sophies family, they dont understand it
Gave her all that they had
And her sister wont stop crying
'Cause her father says shes dying
Sophie says shes really trying
Problem is, Sophies lying.
CHORUS
She can be like all the other girls
Be just like all the other girls
Living in an ordinary world
Just to fit in, to the ordinary world
Just to fit in, like an ordinary girl
BRIDGE
How did she get this way?
How did she get this way?
Through trying to hide it.
What does it take to say,
What does it take to say
Shes dying, Sophies dying
CHORUS
To be like all the other girls
Be just like all the other girls
Living in an ordinary world
Just to fit in, to the ordinary world
Just to fit in and be like all the other girls
Be just like all the other girls
Living in an ordinary world
Just to fit in, to the ordinary world
Just to fit in like an ordinary girl.

Avalanche is sullen and too thin
She starves herself to rid herself of sin
And the kick is so divine when she sees bones beneath her skin
And she says:
Hey baby can you bleed like me?
C'mon baby can you bleed like me
Chris is all dressed up and acting coy
Painted like a brand new Christmas toy
He's trying to figure out if he's a girl or he's a boy
He says:
Hey baby can you bleed like me?
C'mon baby can you bleed like me
Doodle takes Dad's scissors to her skin
And when she does relief comes setting in
While she hides the scars she's making underneath her pretty clothes
She sings:
Hey baby can you bleed like me?
C'mon baby can you bleed like me
Therapy is Speedie's brand new drug
Dancing with the devil's past has never been too fun
It's better off than trying to take a bullet from a gun
And she cries:
Hey baby can you bleed like me?
C'mon baby can you bleed like me
JT gets all fucked up in some karaoke bar
After two drinks he's a loser after three drinks he's a star
Getting all nostalgic as he sings "I Will Survive"
Hey baby can you bleed like me?
C'mon baby can you bleed like me
Hey baby can you bleed like me?
Oh, c'mon baby can you bleed like me
You should see my scars
You should see my scars
You should see my scars
You should see my scars
And try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend
Try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend
Just try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend
Try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend
You should see my scars
You should see my scars
Summer burns june to july,
And we undress and take the dive,
No one holds the hands that hold themselves,
Remember who we are today,
When sundburn souvenirs have faded
And we collect the moments on a self,
And its all right if you feel like crying,
but i won't leave you alone,
"Cause nothing in this world worth fighting for is easy,
I thought you should know...
Winter stirs the stars to life,
And we still burn from autum fires,
Laughing even in our discontent,
And on until the lion fades,
And april wears a brand new face,
Own the moments life is not for rent
And its all right if you feel like crying,
but i won't leave you alone,
"Cause nothing in this world worth fighting for is easy,
I thought you should know...
Finish what you say, don't throw it all away,
There is no way i can save us both anymore,
Still i'm on my way [a hero saves the day]
So open up yours eyes and open up your door,
You're worth fighting for...
It's alright if you can't stop smiling,
Cause i know just how you feel,
You're the one thing in this world worth fighting for,
I need you now more than you know...
Remember who we are today,
In 20 years when the pictures fade,
'Cause you can't rest a good life on the shelf.

We're on our knees
With our fingers in our throats
To fit into the smallest jeans
We're on our knees
Counting carbs and calories
Slaves to this routine
It's such a shame
Diseased, this city is, spread by magazines
And movie scenes that almost could
Welcome you to Hollywood
Diseased, this city is
We're flying high on hopes and dreams
And crash land to reality
Killing yourself is an addiction
We starve ourselves 'till our next audition
It's such a shame
Diseased, this city is, spread by magazines
And movie scenes that almost could
Welcome you to Hollywood
Diseased, this city is
We're flying high on hopes and dreams
And crash land to reality, reality
Dreaming of beauty
I'm dreaming of seeing them
Dreaming of beauty
I'm dreaming of being them
Diseased, this city is, spread by magazines
And movie scenes that almost could
Welcome you to Hollywood
Diseased, this city is
We're flying high on hopes and dreams
And crash land

I cant eat anything
without shoving my hands down my throat
And everything in the world without smearing your makeup
With my hair blinding my eyes
Oh, blinding my eyes
I cant remember the last time Ive seen my own eyes
Or the color of my skin
Do you know what its like to feel ugly all the time?
I stretched myself across the wall
Pushing my limits
For your entertainment to know
Had the nerve
To call out my witnesses
Attack me through the dark
I cant remember the last time Ive seen my own eyes
Or the color of my skin
Do you know what its like to feel ugly all the time?
Oh
Im staring at the mirror
Looking back at the person I hate
I cant remember the last time Ive seen my own eyes
Or the color of my skin
Do you know what its like.
I cant remember the last time Ive seen my own eyes
Or the color of my skin
Do you know what its like to feel ugly all the time?
Oh..
The color of my skin
Do you know what its like to feel ugly all the
It is a sad song, but it's hopeful.
Little girl fourteen flipping through a magazine
Says she wants to look that way
But her hair isn't straight her body isn't fake
And she's always felt overweight
Well little girl fourteen I wish that you could see
That beauty is within your heart
And you were made with such care your skin your body and your hair
Are perfect just the way they are
There could never be a more beautiful you
Don't buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you
Little girl twenty-one the things that you've already done
Anything to get ahead
And you say you've got a man but he's got another plan
Only wants what you will do instead
Well little girl twenty-one you never thought that this would come
You starve yourself to play the part
But I can promise you there's a man whose love is true
And he'll treat you like the jewel you are
So turn around you're not too far
To back away be who you are
To change your path go another way
It's not too late you can be saved
If you feel depressed with past regrets
The shameful nights hope to forget
Can disappear they can all be washed away
By the one who's strong can right your wrongs
Can rid your fears dry all your tears
And change the way you look at this big world
He will take your dark distorted view
And with His light He will show you truth
And again you'll see through the eyes of a little girl
Thank you!
Woke up this morning with a funny feeling
Wasn't really sure what it was all about
but i felt like i was disappearing
so i ran to the mirror to check it out
I said "Here I am, here I am, here I am"
but why do i feel like the invisible man...?
I stumbled back into the bedroom
and stared out at the rising sun
than i heard myself shout out the window
not really talking to anyone
I yelled "Here i am, here i am, here i am"
but why do i feel like the invisible man...?
Lights went on, people started yelling
"Will the crazy man go back to bed?"
and there I was laughing out my window
feeling much better that
somebody heard what I said.
It's no big thing, no revelation
no answer to these lives we lead
but I do think we know one thing
sometimes I think we all need
to say - "Here I am, here I am, here I am"
when life makes us feel like the invisible man
Lights went on, people started yelling
"Will the crazy man go back to bed?!"
and there I was laughing out my window
feeling much better that
somebody heard what I said...

Oooh here I am, here I am, here I am
'Cuz sometimes I feel like the invisible
Ooh here I am, here I am, here I am
But why do I feel like the invisible man?

Let me be your soldier
I'll stand up for you
When your world comes crashing down
I'll be the one to hold you
Let me be your soldier
I'll fight the fight for you
When you're up against the wall
I will pull you through
There comes a time
In everybody's life
When alone is not enough
To make things right
There comes a time
When we need to ask for help
When you're lost and just not strong enough
To make it through the night
When your love is on the frontline...
Let me be your soldier
I'll take the pain for you
When no one else is on your side
I'll defend you
Let me be your soldier
I'll carry the cross for you
When you're down and on your knees
I'll protect you
There comes a time
In everybody's life
When alone is not enough
To make things right
There comes a time
When we need to ask for help
When we're lost and just not strong enough
To make it through the night
When your love is on the frontline...
Let me be your soldier
There comes a time
In everybody's life
When alone is not enough
To make things right
There comes a time
When we need to ask for help
When we're lost and just not strong enough
To make it through the night
When your love is on the frontline
When your love is on the frontline
When your love is on the frontline...
Let me be your soldier, I'll die for you...
