Sixteen years old, alone on the couch In this empty house, with nowhere to go Nobody’s home, silence creeps through the hall In this chilling quiet, I've felt so small Then you stepped in softly, calling yourself Mia You whispered: "I’ll take care of you, you've nothing left to lose here" A warm blanket wrapping me, you knew just how I was searching for control, you gave me the illusion Speaking so sweetly of my own confusion Oh Mia, my dear friend, my worst enemy You held me captive, wouldn't let me go You promised I’d be untouchable and strong But all you ever brought me was pain for too long You blinded me to what I’m truly worth inside But I’m no longer the girl you used to guide At first you were comfort in the darkest of nights Then you became the voice ruling over my life Counting and weighing, that mirror so cruel And the fear consuming me, making me your fool Every single morning on the scale, panic in my head Mia, you demanded every drop of strength I had You said: "You're only good enough when your bones start to show" While slowly destroying everything I loved Oh Mia, my dear friend, my worst enemy You held me captive, wouldn't let me go You promised I’d be untouchable and strong But all you ever brought me was pain for too long You blinded me to what I’m truly worth inside But I’m no longer the girl you used to guide You thought I could never live a day without your grace That Mia would forever hold me in this place But that dream of 'untouchability' was a toxic lie I won't let your illusion keep passing me by No more throwing up, no more starving in my bed It’s my own inner strength that rescued me instead! Now I am healed. I stand in the sun. I see the woman who fought and won. Goodbye Mia, farewell, your time has passed. Nothing you say, can hurt me at last. I am finally free. I have found myself again. And I belong to me.
