Anna Video (MV)

At eight years old her daddy called her fat
After that, for her, there was, there was no turning back
Meals became a battle - Didn't want to eat
Thinking every, painful, mouthful
Piled on the weight

And now she stands there, skin and bone
But in the mirror and in her mind looking fine
Wants to be like, the girls in the fashion magazines
Real life just ain't like that
In her head, she dreams, oh her dreams

Didn't like the way she looked, as her body changed
Heard the words that her mother said but
Treated them with disdain
All the other girls at school, looked so much better than she
In her head she was way too fat, heard them laughing at her
But, that wasn't the fact

And now she stands there, skin and bone
But in the mirror and in her mind looking fine
Wants to be like, the girls in the fashion magazines
Real life just ain't like that
Inside her head, she dreams, oh her dreams

Anna said that it was OK
Not to eat and for her too look this way
Anna told her what to do
Anna was her friend... Inside her head

Mummy cried, Daddy pleaded and they begged
But there was no controlling Anna, inside her head

And now she stands there, skin and bone
But in the mirror and in her mind looking fine
Wants to be like, the girls in the fashion magazines
Real life just ain't like that
Inside her head, she dreams, oh her dreams

Anna said that it would be OK
Anna said that it would be OK
