Life Without Ed
from the book, Life Without Ed

I was chasing down the image for so long
Of that perfect girl that I just had to be
She was never quite the one I saw
How I let that dreadful mirror torture me

It was killing me to try to look like her
The amazing woman who could turn each head
I was losing so much more than all the weight
My very heart and soul were left unfed

I called the monster Ed
He so controlled my head
Until a greater power spoke the truth - it said

Chorus:
Life without Ed is waiting here for you
Be strong, keep the faith and you'll see it coming true
You don't have to just pretend
All the pain can really end
You deserve more than the lies you've been fed
You can believe in life without Ed

So I listened to the wisdom sent my way
And I let the long awakening begin
I have found such freedom I can truly say
That the image in the mirror is my friend

I called the monster Ed
He so controlled my head
Until a greater power spoke the truth - it said

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
When the chains that bind your freedom are so strong
When you think there is no way you can go on
Cause you've tried and you've failed to break away
Look at me and see someone who can say

Repeat Chorus
