Words are like knives and, they cut so deep
Leaving scars on me
And I'm bleeding out
So where are you?
And when I look in the mirror I always want to be someone else
But I still brush my hair, and paint my nails
All for a boy who will never really care
So are you still there?
And I never known it was okay not to be okay
So I bottled it all, and put my pain on a shelf for a rainy day
Because people never really care, they just want to pretend they're gonna be there
So are you listening when I say
I'm not fine, I know I said it a thousand times
And I always cry not to you, but to myself at night because I'm alone and no one has to listen, and,
I know I'll never be like them, but God why do I want to be like them
And how come I always sink when I finally learned to swim...
And I'm screaming out, can't you see the scars on my arms, I'm bleeding out
Someone save me, because I can't do this on my own
And I was never taught, that I was supposed to be more than a pretty picture on a magazine, it only mattered what you looked like, what the boys thought, what the people said. Were you good enough?
And I was never taught that I could be strong, when you're a girl your voice must get weaker so a man's can stronger.. And if you have a opinion close your lips and put it in your pocket. Don't speak up
But there's so much more to me, underneath my skin and bones, I have a soul
With depth and beauty and crazy thoughts and hopes and dreams
But you never took the time to know that about me
And they judge you, when you're the least bit different, and they put you down when you're finally putting your feet on the ground
So is everything really okay?
I'm not fine, I know I said it a thousand times
And my pain is burying me alive, and I don't know how much longer I can fight to survive
And it kills me when I see the scars on my wrist, why did I do this to myself
And God why do I want to be like them, I know I'll never be like them
And do you know how it feels to always want to be someone, just anyone else.
So am I really fine?
