"The Way You Don't Look At Me" lyrics

"The Way You Don't Look At Me"

I've lost ten pounds in two weeks
'Cause I told me I shouldn't eat
I gained a new vice, way more than twice
I've slept on bathroom floors
I've lost my temper and locked in my fingers
Looking for answers there aren't really answers for

And I've been to hell and back
But this isn't that

'Cause when you say nothing
It's much worse than things I've overcome and
This hurts harder than my time in heaven
You don't think I see
The way
You don't look at me

Turned off the TV, I closed the windows
So tell me what's on your mind that makes you so selective
I'm not afraid of natural disasters
But I'm so scared if I undress that you won't love me after

And I've been to hell and back
But this isn't that

'Cause
When you say nothing
It's much worse than things I've overcome and
This hurts harder than my time in heaven
You don't think I see
The way
You don't look at me
The way
You don't look at me
The way
You don't look at me

Yeah, I've been to hell and back
But this isn't that
As a matter of fact
As a matter of fact

'Cause when you say nothing
It's much worse than things I've overcome and
This hurts harder than my time in heaven
You don't think I see
The way
You don't look at me

Demi Lovato explained to Apple Music what "The Way You Don't Look At Me" is about, "...that feeling you get when you're with someone and you know they're not paying attention to you. They're not watching you when you get out of the shower, their eyes aren't lingering on you when you walk by naked, and it sucks. That's a shitty feeling, especially when you love the person. It also talks about how not feeling seen or valued can result in body image or eating-disordered behaviors. [...] in this song I talk about my struggles with food."
