she was a big girl, living in a shrinking world
with stretch marks and cellulite
with those chubby cheeks and love handles
my god she was beautiful

he was a thin boy with a thin heart
with sunken cheeks and deep set eyes
with a flat stomach and boney everything
and he was so beautiful too

and they fell in love, hand in hand
but people talked, and they laughed
and his thin heart and shaky hands couldn't take it
she looked at herself different now, poking and prodding the skin she once loved
and when the people yelled
both their hearts broke
and they couldn't take it anymore

everybody knows that a
t h i n b o y
can't love a
