Verse 1: I remember that day. Memories like this can't just slip away. They say the present is a present because the past is what we run from. I learned tomorrow never comes. After fighting this long I'm not done. I'm wounded and I'm down, but I'm not out. I'm used to being pushed around and walked on like I was the ground. I remember that one guy. I hated him so much. He made sure I was invisible. After being hurt so many time I thought by now I'd be invincible. It's easy to break my walls. I was talking and I looked down. My heartbeat growing faster was the only sound around. I saw her arms and there was no mistake that she had cut herself with a blade. She tried to hide it and pretend it wasn't there. I couldn't act like I didn't care. It broke my heart someone would do this, but I didn't realize my innocent eyes. They couldn't understand what I see now. The old me wouldn't know depression's sound. When she said why I almost cried. I couldn't take it in. I was trying to convince myself that she was wrong. I just move and it's like saying, "Welcome to you're dead end."

Chorus: They drug me under with depression and it feels like I'm crazy. I couldn't believe how blind I was to the real world. It's like I got a shot of reality and I only see the things no one can save me from. Stuck in the dark with no light to turn on. Knowing this makes me fear myself. Habits can be contagious. The number of cuts on her arm is outrageous. When we met I thought she was like my old friend, but seeing her now I was crazy to pretend. She tells me sometimes of the people and the things that have hurt her. All I want to do is be here for her. No one else seems to know and she seems to like to hide. She said she stopped cutting, but it turns out she lied. I hate it when people play her like a game. Why can't you see her pain?

Verse 2: Long stories and hearts broken. How could he? I remember when she told me the story. She was disturbed. Her world was torn. He didn't care. He just wanted to play girls like chess. He moves forward you move back. All along he has the same attack. You trust him big mistake. Your queen is all he wants to take. You loved him, but he put you down. Checkmate. He cheated on her. Colder than I thought he could do before. She still wants him, but he fell in love. Every day he talked to his ex in class. They hid away. He tried to kiss her when he was with another. She had enough. He showed pictures of one of his exes unclothed. Everywhere the picture was exposed. He just ruined another life.

Chorus: They drug me under with depression and it feels like I'm crazy. I couldn't believe how blind I was to the real world. It's like I got a shot of reality and I only see the things no one can save me from. Stuck in the dark with no light to turn on. Knowing this makes me fear myself. Habits can be contagious. The number of cuts on her arm is outrageous. When we met I thought she was like my old friend, but seeing her now I was crazy to pretend. She tells me sometimes of the people and the things that have hurt her. All I want to do is be here for her. No one else seems to know and she seems to like to hide. She said she stopped cutting, but it turns out she lied. I hate it when people play her like a game. Why can't you see her pain?

Verse 3: When I'm in love I can't see anyone else. When she is in love she only sees everyone else. She dates her, but still loves him. She is in a relationship, but she still talks about him. It sounds like you just leave them on. It's like you never loved them at all.

Chorus: They drug me under with depression and it feels like I'm crazy. I couldn't believe how blind I was to the real world. It's like I got a shot of reality and I only see the things no one can save me from. Stuck in the dark with no light to turn on. Knowing this makes me fear myself. Habits can be contagious. The number of cuts on her arm is outrageous. When we met I thought she was like my old friend, but seeing her now I was crazy to pretend.
