Make You Proud

This is the year you go hungry the first time
But you're no good at it, so you quit
One year from now, you will say that you fell for someone
He's not worthy of you, he goes along with your ruse
You would've taken anyone

If you stick around, I'll make you proud
At nineteen, you still won't be skinny, and you'll still be loud
And darling, the world's not against you
Someday you'll climb out, out, out
Don't hurt yourself, give me a chance to make you proud

Two years from now, you will give up on loving yourself
You'll sketch lines in the flesh that you so badly want to escape
And I can't change the past, but I beg of you, don't do it, please
You are worthy of love, you are worthy of all that you need

And if you stick around, I'll make you proud
At nineteen, you still won't be skinny, and you'll still be loud
And darling, the world's not against you
Someday you'll climb out, out, out
Don't hurt yourself, give me a chance to make you proud

Three years from now, you will get your heart broken the first time
It'll feel like he's breaking it over again every day
But after you fill up your castle with art that you make in his name
You'll pick up your pieces and promise to keep yourself safe

And if you stick around, I'll make you proud
At nineteen, you still won't be skinny, and you'll still be loud
And darling, the world's not against you
Someday you'll climb out, out, out
Don't hurt yourself, give me a chance to make you proud

Don't hurt yourself, give me a chance to make you proud
