Would it make a difference   If she never said a word at all?   They'd never listen to her anyway.   Cause it never matters   If she's on her best behavior.   They'd always find something to say.      All she ever needed   Was some motherly attention   And her father's smile now and again.   Was it too much   To ask for   Not to care if she'd ever be thin?      [chorus]   Why do they push her?   Why do they pull her?   Why do they thrive on her pain?   And live to ridicule her?   Why do they preach about heaven   And make her live in hell?   Why don't they see that    She already punishes herself?      Maybe she'll never be   Like her older sibling.   Maybe she'll never see the day   When once they'll just love her   And try not to rush her   And try not to mold her like she's clay.      [chorus]      If they could see it   Through her eyes,   They'd know how   Many rivers she's cried.      [chorus]
