Maria Mena - Self-fulfilling prophecy - 2008



Self-hatred grows in me like cancer
I can't locate its whereabouts, 
but it's feasting on its host
I expected him to have the answers
I thought I taught him how to love me now
He fears me like a ghost

Oh, self-fulfilling prophecy
You're the only guaranteed loyalty
In this town full of violent mothers,
cheating fathers, leaving lovers
I swear to you I'll never love again

This hunger grows inside me like a tumor
The dizziness just compliments this failure of a girl
I'm settled now, this shell of mine consumes me
But every pound I shed speaks volumes 
of my lack of self-control

Oh, self-fulfilling prophecy
You're the only one who dares speak the truth about me
In this town with well-intentioned mothers,
starving daughters, worried lovers
I swear to you I'll never eat again

Oh, self-fulfilling prophecy
You never fail to comfort me
In this town filled with violent mothers,
cheating fathers, leaving lovers
Angry brothers, starving daughters,
starving daughters, worried lovers
I swear to you, I'll never trust again
