These scars were placed here for a reason
To rid the pain from being yours
Cuz every day I wake up screaming
And every night all I do is hurt
These cuts are on me because of you
It's all because of you and what you do
To me, you make me drown
Til you feel better now
Well do you feel better now?
These marks put me in the same place that you are
Because they make me happy
See? I feel happy when I'm bleeding too
That's the one thing we have in common
This is the only way I'm accepted by you
And I know you know my suffering
I know you see my tears
But do you even care?
That you make me shake
And wallow in fear
Among doubt and sorrow? No you never cared
I've always been there to dry your tears
But when mine fell you weren't here
Black cheeks, they stain, as mascara runs
I'm scared of what I myself have become
Even though your'e my mother, my protector, my hero
When Daddy's home his rules go
And I'm nothing anymore but broke
So these cuts are planted on my arm once again
Because I'm scared and lost, and not even my best friend
Could read the message I only keep in my head
I need you there for me now
Before I end up dead
Mommy I just need you
Stroke my hair like you used to
Love me like you used to
I still need you
