music lyrics towards my ed... ***contains curse words****

This Damien Rice song always makes me think of my eating disorder.  If Ed were a person I would sing it to him.  Thought I would share.  Hope the lyrics do not offend...  It's an amazing song... download it!

Rootless Tree
by Damien Rice


what i want from you
is empty your head
they say be true,
don't stain your bed
we do what we need to be free
and it leans on me
like a rootless tree 
what i want from us
is learn to let go
we fake a fuss
and fracture the times
we go blind
when we've needed to see
and it leans on me
like a rootless... 
so **** you, **** you, **** you
and all we've been through
i said leave it, leave it, leave it
it's nothing to you
and if you hate me, hate me, hate me
then hate me so good that you can let me out
let me out of this hell when you're around 
let me out, let me out, 
let me out of this hell when you're around
let me out, let me out, 

what i want from this
is learn to let go
no not of you
of all that's been told
killers reinvent and believe
and this leans on me
like a rootless... 
so **** you, **** you, **** you
and all we've been through
i said leave it, leave it, leave it,
it's nothing to you
and if you hate me, hate me , hate me,
then hate me so good that you can let me out , let me out, let me out
let me out of this hell when you're around
let me out...
and **** you, **** you, i love you
and all we've been through
i said leave it
it's nothing to you
and if you hate me
then hate me so good that you can let me out
let me out...
it's hell when you're around

Wow Dana great job finding this song xD 

Its exactly how I feel against my ED voice in my head. If it hates me so bad that it wants to destroy my life, and obviously I'm not going to let it destroy me, then why can't it just leave me?!

I think you've been doing real great ^^ Keep it up and stay strong! 

xx

!!! Dana! <3 I love Damien Rice and this song, and you're right, it does fit so well. 9 Crimes makes me want to cry. Like falling said you have been doing so well, keep going!

Rootless Tree is one of the most incredible songs. I love Damien Rice, but shame Lisa Hannigan has gone now tho :( He is an amazing artist and his song writing is just immense.

Me and my mum went to see him live - Delicate literally reduced us to tears!

Good choice of song, Dana!

thanks guys... saw him in concert last year and when he played this song i LOST it!!
