You said it yourself,

You love the way I break...

When my hands begin to tremble,

And my voice begins to shake.

You said it yourself,

You liked to see me in tears...

Drowning in misery,

Sinking in grief.

You've always smiled wickedly
As I bleed,

And as you read the words,

That killed me once,

You know now...

That there's no wound,

Only a scar,

It's the mark of survival,

Tattooed on my skin...

I earned it, I fought for it.

For now I'm happy,

And positive that none can break me again like you did...
