Eat without Me

bow your heads and say grace
give your thanks for all the
blessings in front of your face
dig into the food like the
children dig deep into a sandbox
but eat without me

i've come to far to go back now
i'm feeling down that's when
temptation calls out to me
and food is the biggest vice
i have so i got to stay away
so go ahead and split the wish bone
i wish to be healthy
so go ahead and eat without me

smile and laugh with the ones
you love all around you
tell the stories we all know
but every one can't wait to hear
soak up the warmth of the
family who love you
i would love to be there
but eat without me

it's been so hard this past year
i've wallked away from some
bad habits and i still feel
they're too close to me
i am not strong enough to pass
up a sweet piece of pie
and the truth of my mental state
tells me to stay home
so go ahead and eat without me

it's okay to be alone on
thanksgiving day
and watching movies in solitude
it's an odd thing to do
when there are loved ones
that i could be with
but there'd be all the food
that i've abused too
i have to be my own boss
but it's okay to eat without me
if you love me, it's okay
it's okay, go ahead and eat without me
