"Baby Doll"

// Possible Trigger Warning //

-

You say, "Baby Doll, why're you crying?"

Fake the ignorance and pretend you don't see me

Pretend you can't see me dying

-

I'm craving a release

I need my sweet escape

But the only comfort comes from a pointed knife

Blood will drip

Slowly but carefully

You pull my heart apart until you hear it rip

-

Blind to my tears

Deaf to my cries

You told me to let go of my fears

But how do I let go of you?

You're my nicotine

I'm addicted to the pain you bring

-

Once again, say my name

Hold me close and whisper in my ear

In my head though, it won't feel the same

Never can I walk away

There is too strong of a pull

If I'm staying, torture is the price I must pay

-

"Baby Doll, stop your crying."

Don't you see me trying?

"Baby Doll, cut it out."

As you raise up your hand, my mind fills with doubt

"I told you what you mean to me."

The bruises on my arms make it clear to see

You never truly loved me
