‘Size Zero’ is about a model working in the fashion industry, who starves herself until she dies. It’s based on a true story.
Look how the spotlight shines on her face so bare
Every eye in the house is caught by the way she turns
She says I don’t mind
I will choke on my pride
‘Cause the stars don’t hold the weight of the world on their shoulders
So strip me away I wanna be a size zero
All bone she walks the plank like a pedestal, like a stage
What a price to pay what a common way in this day and age
She says I don’t mind
I will choke on my pride
‘Cause the stars don’t hold the weight of the world on their shoulders
So strip me away I wanna be a size zero
Look how the spotlight illuminates her face
White and weary not a hair out of it’s place
On a different kind of pedestal she waits
For the showdown but the last call was too late
Now they say that behind that smile
A thought so vile
That the stars don’t hold the weight of the world on their shoulders
So strip me away I wanna be a size zero
Strip me away I wanna be a size zero
Strip me away I wanna be a size zero
