Balance
Scale
Say it to me
This time
How many extra kilos
Weigh me 'cause I know already
Deep down in my skin
You who know that I starve myself
For a number with two tears
Which is never right
From below you look at me
You laugh at me, and taunt me
It's not nice
Throw at me
Throw everything
I've let go the weight
Which weighed heavy on the heart
Which stopped me from being beautiful
Which stopped me from being me
Throw at me
Throw everything
I've let go the weight
Which stopped me from being beautiful
Which stopped me from being me
I slimmed down
I said, "Yes, that's fine"
But it still felt wrong
Funny life
We are never enough
Good enough with ourselves
You here talking to me
Who finds me guilty
Who pisses me off
From below you stare at me
You want me to get going again
To be skin and bones
Throw at me
Throw everything
I've let go the weight
Which weighed heavy on the heart
Which stopped me from being beautiful
Which stopped me from being me
Throw at me
Throw everything
I've let go the weight
Which stopped me from being beautiful
But the older I get
The more I hate myself
It's only my feathers
What do you want me to let go?
What do you want me to do?
It will never be enough
Now when it doesn't go well
I tell myself that it will pass
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Throw at me
Throw everything
I've let go the weight
Which weighed heavy on the heart
Which stopped me from being beautiful
Which stopped me from being me

Thank you for the translation! I don't know if this is appropriate since I don't see anything about proofreading... I think you may have read "Et plus je me déleste" as "déteste". Is it really something more along the lines of "and the more relieved I am" ?
