Superchick - Courage Lyrics






I told another lie today
And I got through this day
No one saw through my games
I know the right words to say
Like "I don't feel well," "I ate before I came"
Then someone tells me how good I look
And for a moment, for a moment I am happy
But when I'm alone, no one hears me cry

I need you to know
I'm not through the night
Some days I'm still fighting to walk towards the light
I need you to know
That we'll be OK
Together we can make it through another day

I don't know the first time I felt unbeautiful
The day I chose not to eat
What I do know is how I've changed my life forever
I know I should know better
There are days when I'm OK
And for a moment, for a moment I find hope
But there are days when I'm not OK
And I need your help
So I'm letting go

I need you to know
I'm not through the night
Some days I'm still fighting to walk towards the light
I need you to know
That we'll be OK
Together we can make it through another day

You should know you're not on your own
These secrets are walls that keep us alone
I don't know when but I know now
Together we'll make it through somehow
(together we'll make it through somehow)

I need you to know
I'm not through the night
Some days I'm still fighting to walk towards the light
I need you to know
That we'll be OK
Together we can make it through another day

  1. G.... W....

    i want to be sickeningly skinny. too skinny. like a longer extended suicide. too bad im shaped like barrel or a door. wow. I can't remember what was before this. im so weak

  2. S.... W....

    I also dedicate this to my OC's:
    Pinku, who has anorexia nervosa
    Reo, who has Binge Eating Disorder
    Juliette, who has Bulimia Nervosa

  3. H.... P....

    i just hope to be beautiful once in my fucking life.

  4. s.... ....

    back after three years lmaooooooimnotgettinganybetter

  5. C.... J....

    My ED has been repressed for 3 months now it's back

  6. M.... W....

    This is one of the songs that helped to save my life. I always come back to it when I'm having a hard time. I am so grateful

  7. R.... M....

    I used this song to get thinner and now i am an anorexia in hospital 😓

  8. B.... W....

    Does it ever get better you guys? Do these horrible thoughts ever fucking get better?

    B.... W....

    Brooklyn Wilson antidepressants help lol it depends on your body though

    B.... W....

    nope, never. it just calms down for a moment and comes back 10x stronger.

  9. A.... l....

    In my teenage years to mid 20's, i've been anorexic,i thought it's just normal to almost starve to death just to look good coz i'm scared to get fat again,i wished i've known better that there are safest way like keto and intemittent fasting or vegan.. then i overcome it and became overweight to obese over the years..now i'm back to dieting but the healthier way,cutting all carbs and sweet and lost 20kg. We can do better,very true..i was emotional with this song in my younger years.

  10. J.... D....

    I'm in my 25 th year of anorexia and just started a new cycle. 98 lbs at 5.1 is way too much. Maybe 80.

    J.... D....

    Coke helps.

    J.... D....

    94, 5 lbs at 5.1 atm. That's minus 2 , 5 kg or almost 5 lbs since I really try to get lower. Wohoo ! Sadly my thyroid doesn't work and because my GP doesn't know about Hashimoto's disease I'm without medication so it's twice as hard to loose weight and since I'm having an ED for about 25 years now my metabolism immediately slows down when I eat 300 cal or nothing for longer than 3 to 4 days , so I have to eat ( and purge )every 4 to 6 days about 500 to maybe 700 ? 900? to trick my body into speeding my metabolism up, only to restrict immediately again, but it's risky to find a balance because I might " gain" some water or stomach content -weight, only to drop a pound the day after eating.
    But only 2 to 3 days after my "refeeding" or "binging" day,
    I know if I really found the exact and right amount to speed up the. metabolism, but not permanently gain.....
    So I'm very slowly improving , sadly. ....but it's better than eating barely nothing at all (10 - 15 nuts and 10 yummy bears at most) and not losing anything after the first lbs, because my body is so used to immediately go into starvation mode again.
    But eating very little, or eat and purge not more than 500 - 900 cal. is difficult for an purging - anorexic. Binges can run out of control easily for me usually. Luckily I this time find it easier to rather almost not eat at all, than do the nessecary "eat more and purge" - days, because I q disgusted by almost anything, most days. And just thinking of the purpose I'm doing it even gets me out of my severe depression to move and do housework to burn at least some calories.

    J.... D....

    Edit : I just found out I even started with 100, 5 lbs or more! About 45.5 to 46 kg ! I hadn't weighed myself and only guessed my weight.

    That means I lost 6 lbs in one month! For someone with a 25 year history and a very trained, sneaky body when it comes to cutting on energy and a thyroid condition that's not too bad. I could push it o know but I don't want others to notice until I'm near my goal so no one will bother me ! Planning on getting into the upper 80 ies this month. At least down to 90. 89 lbs.

    Even my leggings have air where my inner tighs should be. Knees bigger than the lower part of my tighs and upper part of my lower legs. Real tigh gap I can fit my hand into without touching anything.

    But I have to do more ballet exercises to stretch and burn fat and get flexible.

    J.... D....

    93.4 aka 42.4 kg in shorts and shirt today. Half empty.

    Had to drink 300- 400 ml with my meds under supervision , so its 400 gram plus now, so it was correct before.

    3 to 4 kg or 6 - 8 lbs in a month. Not too bad.
    This is becoming my diary now so no one can find it

    J.... D....

    92.8 lbs aka 42.1 kg -0.3 - 0.4 fully clothed

  11. s.... ....

    Found my old playlist..

  12. I.... A....

    💚Wow, I'm not triggered anymore 💪 Took me a few years to shake the feeling of wanting to be super thin. Y'all can do it 💚

  13. C.... T....

    Hang n there . Much love and light 2 everyone struggling w/ an eating disorder . Best wishes . Im a recovered anorexic . I know what its like .
    Peace to you .

  14. R.... H....

    Lol my friend says she wrote this song and doesn't know I know she's lying

  15. N.... S....

    God I listened to this song loads as a kid about 10 to 11
    I didn't actually get what this was about but I listen now and realise, I just started crying.

  16. K.... E....

    I have battled with Anorexia for too darn long. This song is comforting because I relate so much.

  17. M.... T....

    2019 - Ten years has passed and here I am.... again

  18. M.... ....

    I'm so fucking afraid i'll relapse and never get better ever again. I'm shaking because i ate breakfast, it wasn't even that much. But it hurt so bad, i don't get it, i recovered Like 4 years ago and seriously i ate like any other person, now i wanna get rid of all the food, i feel so fat again. What the heck.

  19. J.... ....

    When I was younger I remember asking my mom why wasn't everyone underweight because it's healthy and beautiful, and everyone knows you can only be pretty if you are skinny. THAT. IS. NOT. TRUE!

    From a young age we were taught that we must always hate ourselves, and skinny is beautiful.


    That needs to change

  20. K.... ....

    2019 :)

  21. a.... x....

    ‘i don’t know the first time i felt unbeautiful’ I’ve gotten so used to looking in the mirror and staring back at my reflection, only to feel unbeautiful.

  22. L.... S....

    Please pray for our teens and those that feel suicidal and pray for the homeless

  23. J.... ....

    this right here was my recovery anthem; and I left it there too, been in recovery for a year now. good luck to all those struggling xxx

  24. p.... l....

    wowowowowowo THIS BRINGS ME BACK TO MY ANOREXIC YEARS! ...i'm on my road to recovery. I just want this voice to stop! I just want me to like myself to like myself fully.

  25. S.... C....

    Anthem of all anorexics

  26. C.... C....

    Damnit. Stop.trying to cure my depression, it hurts

  27. I.... N....

    Hearing this after recovery brings memories back

  28. D.... M....

    It can destroy you in so many ways. Let it go before its too late

  29. H.... L....

    This song gets me through my darkest days

  30. M.... J....

    as a person whit out eating disorder this song really help med understand en emphases whit whit som of the people in my life have gone whit

  31. N.... H....

    I like the song

  32. h.... ....

    love this song!! listening to it all the time!

  33. D.... W....

    I’m a guy but I wish I was bigger lol. I ate a salad yesterday and my friend said I needed a steak cause I’m only 140 lbs. he’s like 200 lbs. were the same height. It’s not that I don’t i eat at least once a day but I’m just skinny.

  34. l.... s....

    Throwback to all the sims 2 emo compilations this was in <3

  35. A.... ....

    wow this brings back so many awful memories from years ago

  36. q.... m....

    fuck I wish there were still a band see the world need bands like this to show the light of God ,music like this can bring peace u feel me

  37. m.... ....

    It's 2019, I am reading through the comments.
    It makes me sad. And this is just one of the many problems that are out there. People scolding with these things. They don't know what they are saying, they don't know what it does with people, they don't know the power of words. But I do know the power of words.

    Please don't listen to them, *YOU ARE BEATIFUL*

  38. P.... D....

    I want to be as light as feather so I can float away from all of my problems.

  39. G.... R....

    I showed this to a friend of mine a year or so ago and it made him almost cry and he gave me a hug, telling me I was an amazing person. At first, I thought he believed I was anorexic. Today he told me that he was very anorexic in high school, and he was 80 lbs at one point. I now realize that this song touched him very deeply.

  40. A.... L....

    Anorexia sucks. *IT REALLY SUCKS*

  41. B.... B....

    I know a lot of people see this more as a song about currently struggling but I see it more as recovery. It helps me a lot when I’m feeling down and triggered by my eating disorder because it reminds me I’m not alone and that I can get through this. I don’t think I’ll ever be completely free of the voice of my eating disorder but I can get through this.

  42. S.... A....

    Even though I'm a year into recovery I don't feel like I will ever feel beautiful for more than a few moments. I can now mostly control ana but I can't control my BDD...

  43. P.... ....

    I used to listen to this song about 7 years ago at my darkest of days. Here I am now going to college for health and nutrition. Hmm... Everything happens for a reason.
    Food is medicine 🍉🍐🍏🥥 heal your mind, body, and soul with Earth's gifts.

  44. O.... B....

    This sums up my ed

  45. l.... 5....

    A beautiful song💚💛💜

  46. I.... A....

    Yo, my anorexic phase. Wow.

  47. I.... R....

    Such a trigger song

  48. S.... L....

    That sentence ''And i need your help. So i'm letting go.''
    is so recognizable. That is what happened to me. (And to most people that struggle). Many people wanted to help me, and I needed it. But a voice in me told me that I do not deserve help and that I do not need it and so I dropped all the people around me. But deep down you know that it's not true, but you can not stop the thoughts. To this day I still fight all the voices. But I'll get there someday.

  49. J.... M....

    I'm involved with life coaching and taking a stand for others. I just finished supporting an emotional intelligence workshop this weekend and this song is really tapping into those that I help. Even if it's not about an eating disorder SO many people need people to stand for them. I lived through anorexia and suicidal depression, now I'm saving lives!

  50. S.... L....

    Oh the memories

  51. M.... ....

    # evie bot recommend me

  52. S.... S....

    Trying to get strength to fast....I can't keep b&p'ing. It's always gotta be one extreme or the other. (99.9% Mia) I just want to be ok with food and my body.

  53. M.... L....

    I wonder why the lead singer sounds so different on just this one song

  54. T.... S....

    I forgot about superchick for a until I heard my sister singing bowling ball. My aunt got me when of their disks, 8 years ago, and I still have it. It was my got to thing when I was dealing or going through rough times.

  55. R.... ....

    I was going through my old notebook and found my favourite songs and this song came up and to think I listened to this when I was so young is really sad

  56. C.... O....

    I need a pro ana buddy

    C.... O....

    a therapist is what you need

  57. A.... B....

    OMG !!!! I love this song, I struggled with Eating Disorders and I am now recovered but I know what it is to be there :'(

  58. M.... O....

    i didn't decide to stop eating because I wanted to feel beautiful or be like the girls on the screen. I did it because I don't feel good enough. because i don't know how to feel good enough. I was never taught how to be comfortable with myself since a very young age, if even, I was taught the opposite. I lose weight because I feel it will make me worthy. but it's a trap, because I will never feel enough. I'm not wired to feel enough.

    I used to listen to this everyday .This is definitely a anorexia song..

  61. u.... t....

    girls at my school tell me im way too skinny. if only they know ik struggling. I don't wanna be skinny, I wanna gain weight.. but food makes me sick and I cant eat more than 1000cal and im 14. it hurts so so bad and this song is brilliant.

  62. A.... 2....

    _I know I should know better..._

  63. E.... M....

    Whatever size or color you are you are incredibly valuable. There is only one of you in the entire universe. External beauty does not define your worth.

  64. e.... ....

    Nobody notices :)

    👙💔

  66. s.... t....

    I'm in the hospital, not allowed to get out of bed unless I'm in a wheelchair. A feeding tube is keeping me alive because I couldn't do that for myself. My heart is working too hard and it hurts to sit anywhere because of the way my pelvic bones jut out.

    I should be in college right now. I was 12 the first time I heard this song and only just starting to flirt with an eating disorder. I had no idea what I was doing. I wish I could go back and change things, but I can't.

    I don't know the first time I felt unbeautiful, the day I chose not to eat. What I do know is how it changed my life forever....I know, I should know better.

    s.... t....

    Hun, are you okay?

    s.... t....

    Oh, sweetheart. I hope that you are doing well today. :) <3

    s.... t....

    @Shiyon do people ever think before they ask questions?????? I mean, are you okay? Please don't get into the business of comforting sick people.

  67. G.... ....

    How pitiful I am to be a black man somewhere like this😞 no one to talk to no one understands me

  68. b.... d....

    Just discovered this song and it means so much especially at this point in my life where I am struggling with a eating disorder. any advice from people who has recovered would be lovely....

  69. E.... L....

    I'm falling again

  70. B.... T....

    When I was eleven this started. I got better.
    It came back when I was twelve, it hit hard. I lost about 10 lbs in a couple months.
    Now its back again.

    B.... T....

    Oh no...be strong. You're beautiful no matter what.

    B.... T....

    thank you for your kindness. I'm trying to be strong

  71. M.... A....

    2:11 to 2:48 is a really good part :O

  72. T.... g....

    Look at your mum's eyes when She looks at you, then you'll see the the reflection of the most beautiful human being ever

    T.... g....

    The great mister Suzuki But what if your mum doesn't want to look at you...
    Then what???

  73. a.... s....

    uh 😂💔 yeah I may be the most ugly one from out side and inside here 😢 I never felt I'm handsome or beautiful , also I just don't care anymore of my shape or how the fuck I look ..
    but what hurts me more is that I couldn't change my soul / personality / self 💔
    I'm so fucked up 😂💔 thanks life 👍
    anyway what an amazing song 💙I love it

  74. A.... C....

    I remember listening to this songs years ago, thinking it was about something so distant from my life and me, something I would have never seen with my eyes.
    It's so crazy. I'm here, now, waiting from news from the medical center where my cousin has been placed because of anorexia. There is a high risk for her of recovery. She has been my best friend for a long time, I will never leave her alone. I hope she'll get better, I really do.

  75. m.... ....

    A few tips for people who are well aware that they are not eating.
    1. You don't have to do this, you are beautiful, no matter what people say. Even if you're overweight, you're still beautiful.
    2. If you already started with not eating, admit it, you don't have to shout it out to everyone, just
    to one or two (or as many as you prefer with a minimum of one) person(s) you can trust.
    3. If you told it to someone, that person can help you by talking or in other ways.
    And always remember that you are beautiful the way you are, whether or not it's visible on the outside. If someone says, you're not. Then that is the taste of that person, but not a fact. Everyone is different.

  76. C.... D....

    I fell again

  77. F.... !....

    I'm morbidly obese and haven't ate in a week, even a single calorie makes me feel like a loser. My stomach feels super strange and hurts bad, I'm not in support of eating disorders but this lifestyle seems to be working for me.

  78. m.... l....

    comments: don't listen to other people! you are beautiful and
    me: scrolls

  79. L.... K....

    These songs helped me through my mental health problems in middle school and early high school.. Listening to them now, at almost 20 years old is very emotional for me.

  80. K.... I....

    I know it's probably been pretty rough but trust me you'll get through it. Don't give up on yourself.

  81. L.... V....

    I don't remember what hope feels like... I really wish I did.

  82. J.... F....

    I remember listening to this when i was 9

  83. L.... M....

    im still struggling with anorexia and bulimia, ive battled for 6 years, since i was 16. i was called fat all my life, by my parents and peers. i sunk into depression and thats what started the anorexia and bulimia

  84. M.... E....

    2034 anyone ?

  85. Z.... N....

    Everyone here is beautiful! Stride to make people happy, and know that you are beautiful.
    And even if you don't believe you are beautiful on the outside, you are on the inside, trust me. And even if you feel like you're a bad person because of something you did or said, that doesn't make you a bad person, it just makes you an angel that lost it's wings. Maybe your wings were taken from you. But believe me, you ARE beautiful, and you WILL find your wings again.

  86. P.... J....

    I want to die.

  87. G.... D....

    Welp, back to this song. Recovery is Nice and all but i miss her voice so incredibly much. Someone help me

  88. A.... M....

    I think I'm gonna stop eating when school starts... So I have friends and no one hates me anymore....

    A.... M....

    Adriana Morrow I feel you but please don't it's not worth the pain please just please don't starve if u really want to lose weight try some diet but don't starve especially not for people as they should love u no matter what. And let me tell you something your so worth so much more than numbers and calories. You ARE beautiful inside out. I know I don't know you but please for me don't starve find another way. If u need some one to talk to just know I'm here for you. Your worth so much more xx

  89. A.... M....

    I'm 5'4 and 140 lbs, am I fat?

    A.... M....

    Adriana Morrow not at all

  90. B.... H....

    Ah Manon je ne t'oublierai jamais

  91. s.... :....

    Who else is here for the fanfic prompts?

  92. M.... P....

    I've had an eating disorder since I was 10. I'm so over this fucking disease.

  93. A.... T....

    Don't choose the selfish, cowardly and lazy option. Anorexia is not the way to lose weight. It will only make thing so much more worse. Be happy with how you are, being slightly overweight is so much better than being anorexic. Don't do this to yourself.

  94. K.... C....

    I feel like utter shit right now. After years of only wishing to be dead I finally feel hopeful for the future. After 9 months in 2 different psychiatric hospitals I finally feel like I actually want to keep going. But now I've lost weight, I can't help it I just feel so fucking shit all the time but I've done it again and I might go back and I can't because if I do I won't be able to catch up again and it's already been so hard and I'm scared that if I go back I will attempt again.

    K.... C....

    Keep going on. good luck 😇

  95. I.... C....

    PERFECTION!!!

  96. R.... B....

    wow... used to listen to this song as a teenager it was like my go to song in my battle with anorexia. i haven't heard this song in years. It just brought back a bunch of memories of the anorexic fueled days. I am so grateful to be in Eating Disorder recovery and no longer care this much about how I look and I no longer starve myself or see this as my song to push me to starve myself more.

  97. S.... M....

    I just developed anorexia. I am scared. And I don't know how to get out. Some people don't know how hard it is to swallow food with out feeling horrible guilt or punishing myself by purging or exercising the rest of the day. I am loosing weight fast and I am scared. I feel hopeless. But I love this song because it inspires me so much!
