Everyone assumes
You're happy
Because you smileEveryone assumes
You're OK
Because you say you areEveryone assumes
You're stayin strong
But inside you're crumbling awayYou smile to distract them
From the scars that don't fadeYou say you're OK
So that you don't have to explain
To make life "easier"Your strength slips
Second by second
Minute by minuteYou try hard to fight the up hill battle
But everything you do
Is never enough
Yet you continue to fightYou start to give up
And look for an easy way outYou have the rope
The blade
The pills
The gun
All lined up
All ready to take you somewhere new
They become so tempting
Begging you to play with themTie the rope to your fan pretty baby
Cover your body in lines that you can't erase
Swallow the pills to numb you pain
Load the gun and aimSuch an easy way out
Just try not to pout
You couldn't have it any easierStop pretty baby
Untie the rope
Put down the blade
Don't swallow another pill
Give me the gun
Don't give up on life
There's so much more to itLet my love reach you
Let it protect you
Let me be here
Let me help you
Let me save you from your demonsGive me your key
Your promise to me
Not to hurt yourself pretty babyPlease
Keep fighting
I'll be by your side
For all of itJust don't give up
Not yet
Not ever
Pretty baby
