About dying on the inside

Nessa sang this song to her audience in Mexico on her 2021 tour and was later teased on her instagram. On stage, she also mentioned the reason she wrote this song; “I’ve been struggling a lot recently about stupid beauty standards and you know eating and all that stuff and i know a lot of people go through that.. boys and girls if i’m being honest.” she added; ‘'It happens to everyone and its hard. And i feel like no one really talks about it enough.’' .

dying on the inside Lyrics

[00:00.04] You should take it as a compliment
[00:03.19] If I were you, I would be more confident
[00:06.99] You're lucky that you're pretty
[00:08.65] Why are you obsessed with your appearance?
[00:12.94] I don't wanna hear it, you're fine
[00:16.01] It's been my best-kept secret for a while now
[00:20.63] No one ever sees it, but it's all around
[00:24.06] It's the dinner conversation no one talks about
[00:27.95] Don't know how much longer I can keep this down
[00:33.15] Beauty is a knife I've been holding by the blade
[00:36.80] Swallowing my pride so I won't eat anything
[00:40.66] It's all a lie, honestly, it's eating me alive
[00:46.30] They're all like
[00:48.49] "Did you change your hair?"
[00:49.96] "Did you lose a little weight?"
[00:52.38] "You should keep it up 'cause it really looks great"
[00:55.97] I hate that I always look my best
[01:00.52] When I'm dying on the inside
[01:04.16]
[01:08.32] When I'm dying on the inside
[01:12.00]
[01:17.17] I wish I could break the mirror
[01:19.96] That makes me feel like I should fucking disappear
[01:23.94] And drown my demons in a bathtub filled with tears
[01:27.66] No matter what I try, they always seem to come back to life
[01:33.71] What if I didn't do this to my body?
[01:37.46] What if I quit and then you don't want me?
[01:40.98] The dinner conversation no one talks about
[01:44.76] Don't know how much longer I can keep this down
[01:49.85] Beauty is a knife I've been holding by the blade
[01:53.93] Swallowing my pride so I won't eat anything
[01:57.34] It's all a lie, honestly, it's eating me alive
[02:03.00] They're all like
[02:05.28] "Did you change your hair?"
[02:06.64] "Did you lose a little weight?"
[02:09.09] "You should keep it up 'cause it really looks great"
[02:12.63] I hate that I always look my best
[02:17.28] When I'm dying on the inside
[02:20.79]
[02:25.01] When I'm dying on the inside
[02:28.56]
[02:32.46] When I'm dying on the inside
[02:33.55] You should take it as a compliment
[02:36.86] If I were you, I would be more confident
[02:40.52] You're lucky that you're pretty
[02:42.16] Why are you obsessed with your appearance?
[02:46.33] I don't wanna hear it, you're fine
[02:51.22] Beauty is a knife I've been holding by the blade
[02:55.04] Swallowing my pride so I won't eat anything
[02:58.80] It's all a lie, honestly, it's eating me alive
[03:04.50] They're all like
[03:06.71] "Did you change your hair?"
[03:08.12] "Did you lose a little weight?"
[03:10.63] "You should keep it up 'cause it really looks great"
[03:14.19] I hate that I always look my best
[03:18.88] When I'm dying on the inside
[03:20.27]
