Too Much Fat Is Killing Me
Rewrite of the Queen classic, Too Much Love Is Killing Me
Note-Fiction only!
I'm much more of a woman then I need to be
Too many bitter, ugly lbs are turning
My health and family on me
I've never felt so far away from home
So close to the grave
And I've been facing it on my own
For much too long
I feel like finally I must
Face the truth about me
So that others can learn
What a struggle it can be
And it doesn't have to be
In my tangled state of appetite and mind
Starting with those first 2 Big Macs and fries
At the tender mercy of 16
Is that where I went wrong?
Too much fat is killing me
Slowly going outta my mind
Torn apart inside
My liver, heart and other delicate parts
In such a bind
I'm long past headed for disaster
I can see all the signs
Too much fat is gonna kill me
It's only a matter of time
So bad
My obese shadow just ate
The skinny woman I used to be
And it seems there's be no other way
But a cold, black coffin for me
Have't seen the sunshine
In who knows how long
Only for years known
The misery of a self-pitying rain
Into Hell I feel
I am slowly being dragged down
How would it be
If you were standing in my shoes
Would you still make fun
Or would you see
An addiction to food
Has made it impossible to chose
There's no more ignoring it
Life or death now
Every lb I have to lose
Too much fat is killing me
This time I know it
I must give it or lose it all
Draining whatever life is left in me
God please
If you'll spare me
I'll do whatever I have to do
Plead, scream, crawl
Cause this neverending contant fear
It's making me crazy
I know
Maybe too late now
Too long I've been lazy
Overeating has made me the victim of my crime
Too much fat is killing me
And I have no doubt anymore
I'm running outta time
Too much fat is killing me
Can't keep looking in that mirror
Telling myself over and over
The same ole lie
And so I hope you all understand
If this final result does not work
Why I have to take my own life
May cost me
My very soul
But I just can't keep going through this horror
Again and again
Everyday of my life
Too much fat is killing me
And it has to end
And it has to end....
