3. Slip By

“Slip By”

He told you he was sad

How could you let that slip by

He was a happy kid, always wore a smile

His life was so cheerful for a short while

When he got older everything got colder

Now he’s feeling down, please don’t scold him

He told you he was sad

How could you let that slip by

So, he bottles it up on the inside

On the outside, everything is all great

But, inside nothing can save him from his self hate

The seasons pass by all he wears are hoodies

‘Cause the cuts on his wrists were bleeding through, you see

If someone were to notice, he would blame it on the cat

But the gashes on his wrists were no mistake

Those would calm him, so he wouldn’t break

He told you he was sad

How could you let that slip by

So, he bottles it up on the inside

On the outside, everything is all great

But, inside nothing can save him from his self hate

He thought he was dangerous and reckless to be around

Blocking everyone out, who could ever be there when he finally broke

She asked if he was okay, it was only a rough spot

Knowing who he was, cause we all go through them

Pulling up his sleeves, she hugs him

Everyone screws up

He told you he was sad

How could you let that slip by

He told you he was sad

How could you let that slip by

So, he bottles it up on the inside

On the outside, everything is all great

But, inside nothing can save him from his self hate

He didn’t tell her he was sad

But, she couldn’t let it slip by as she pulled up her own sleeves
