Take Off Your Jacket

Take off your jacket they insist

You panic remembering the new red lines on your wrist

No thanks I'm cold

No second thoughts on the lie you just told

Keep your lips sealed

Then it won't be a big deal

They don't know what you do when you're alone

How different you are when you're alone at home

Can't stop the tears

As you hide in your fears

You grab the blade

Cut the pain away

Try your best to be a fighter

But you can't ignore the call of the lighter

The sting snaps you outta the daze

The tears stop rolling down your face

The numbness is gone

But you still feel wrong

Look at what you did to yourself

Tell me did it really help?

Darling put the blade away

Fight it for another day

You'll be okay
