[Verse 1: Matthew Koma]
I can't keep faking it
I smile real wide with a mouth of diamonds
But the shine is counterfeit
When we're dressed in white, we're in Halloween outfits
Obsessed with protecting you
Your trigger's worth dreaming, a price possession
I spend hours perfecting you
'Til you're bigger than me on my knee's reflection, praying
[Chorus: Matthew Koma]
Dear Ana, I can't live without you
But it's killing me to keep you alive
And dear Ana, I'm afraid to out you
I know your secrets and you know mine
And you have carried me away
For too long
You have carried me away
Now I'm gone
Now I'm gone
[Verse 2: Matthew Koma]
I know I keep saying it
That tomorrow's last time, we'll be last and final
And I keep engraving it
When I climb the pearl gates, I recite your Bible
Obsessed with believing you
You're a sweet 16, blowing out my candles
And I'm tired of needing you
Going dizzy with dreams that evolve and cancel
Praying
[Chorus: Matthew Koma]
Dear Ana, I can't live without you
But it's killing me to keep you alive
And dear Ana, I'm afraid to out you
I know your secrets and you know mine
And you have carried me away
For too long
You have carried me away
Now I'm gone
Now I'm gone
[Bridge: Matthew Koma]
You're my best friend, you're my weakness
You're my angel, you're my demons
You're my virgin in a black dress
I'm on my knees again for you
[Chorus: Matthew Koma]
Dear Ana, I can't live without you
But it's killing me to keep you alive
And dear Ana, I'm afraid to out you
I know your secrets and you know mine
And you have carried me away
For too long
You have carried me away
Now I'm gone
Dear Ana, now I'm gone
[Outro: Matthew Koma]
Dear Ana
Dear Ana
Dear Ana, I can't live without you
Dear Ana
Dear Ana
Dear Ana, I can't live without you

‘Dear Ana’ is a song about my battle with an eating disorder that nearly killed me. I always had some issues around body image and body dysmorphia, but didn’t have the strength to face it or talk about it openly. I became so mentally and physically exhausted and it didn’t get any better in the conte...
