She grabbed my wrists and looked me in the eye

It took everything I had not to cry

She asked me why I'd do this to myself

I couldn't answer so she asked if I'd do it to someone else

Then I hung my head and cried

Because she made me realize

The world is on your shoulders

You have to be the rock for the others

You have to be strong for your sisters and brothers

But baby girl

We all need to cry

Don't ask me why

The world is on your shoulders

That must hurt

So baby girl don't be afraid to cry

Waters' clear

But my wrists are stained

I say I'm happy

But my eyes read pain

You're over reacting

You used to be so happy

What a shame

Oh you finally left your room

That's something you never do

Oh honey that won't fit

Maybe you should go to a therapist?

The world is on your shoulders

You have to be the rock for the others

You have to be strong for your sisters and brothers

But baby girl

We all need to cry

Don't ask me why

The world is on your shoulders

That must hurt

So baby girl don't be afraid to cry

I still fall on my face sometimes

And my wrists are covered in pale lines

I just want you to realize

The world is on your shoulders

You have to be the rock for the others

You have to be strong for your sisters and brothers

But baby girl

We all need to cry

Don't ask me why

The world is on your shoulders

That must hurt

So baby girl don't be afraid to cry
