Oh, beautiful girl why must you cry?
Why must you escape your fears with a knife?
Why must you be so determined to leave?
You are so beautiful, why can't u see?
So much potential for your life!
Why must you escape your fears with a knife?
We speak only truth, will tell no lies.
I believe in you darling, please will you try?
Try and hold the urge to hurt and harm,
Hold the urge to cut your arm...

Now now darling, I know you tried.
But the knife had won you over this time.
