Dear Diary: Today, I’m starting over; I’m tightening my belt and I’m sticking to my diet
Dear Diary: I hope to god it’s worth it. I have no faith I’ll make it but I promised I would try it
Dear Diary: Will this ever feel like second nature? I want to feel better!
Dear Diary: I’m sick of self denial. Can I close my eyes and make it go away forever

Oh, I’m hungry
So very hungry
This harsh salvation
Can it take away temptation?

In the FIRST STEP out of this disaster
The FIRST STEP out of this hole
Can I take the FIRST STEP out of these old broken habits?
And watch my life unfold

Dear Diary: I must try harder. Mother’s coming Tuesday so I’m back on my programme
Dear Diary: Keep an eye on the horizon and maybe on the way I will discover who I am
Dear Diary: Do I have to be so virtuous? Counting every calorie keeping in control
Dear Diary: I’m as greedy as a hoover; there’s a fast food junkie running riot in my soul

Can I face this harsh salvation?
Lead me not into temptation
Where is my gratification
Now I’m taking

The FIRST STEP out of this disaster
The FIRST STEP out of this hole
I’m gonna take the FIRST STEP out of these old broken habits
And watch my life unfold
I’m gonna take the FIRST STEP out of this disaster
The FIRST STEP out of this hole
I’m gonna take the FIRST STEP out of these old broken habits
And maybe I will save my soul

I’ve been walking around in my sleep
I’ve woken up and I’m in deep, oh
Can I take it? Will I break it? I’m unsteady
Can I take it? Will I break it? Am I ready?
