I use the blade of a cold icy knife,
I slice my flesh open so blood gushes out,
No one understands the love I feel,
I just want to express it and shout!
I know I'm not the most perfect girl in the world,
I know I'm not exactly an angel for you to be with,
But please trust me when I say I'm trying my best,
Because I was thinking that love was a myth.
My heart is aching too much for me to stop,
I stand there alone fresh tears I cry,
I don't want this, I don't want any of this,
Kill me! Kill me now! I just want to die!
You might call me over emotional,
But there I am not feeling a thing,
My skin is sicker, paler, dead,
And I'm thinner than string.
If you want to know, the knife,
It doesn't hurt me at all,
I used to stand up straight and smile,
Now I just fall.
The reason the cutting doesn't hurt,
The knife doesn't compare to the pain inside,
My heart is suffering as sorrow takes hold,
Would you even care if I died?
Would you feel sorry for me,
Or would you even care?
Or maybe you would realize
That life isn't fair.
I finally find the will to stop and the next day
You still haven't got the slightest clue,
You have your daily life and don't know
About the scars I marked for you.
