For Her I Will Live

She watches me all day
Though she doesn't quite seem real
She has a sad look on her face
And only one tear

I've heard a lot about her
Of how she came to be
She was so fed up with life
She reminded me of me

They found her in my closet
Long before it was mine
She had slit both of her wrists
They hadn't found her in time

I heard about the life she'd lived
And how she seemed so great
They couldn't understand how such a happy girl
Could hide behind a smile so fake

I look at her old pictures
They were left behind
She looked so familiar
So I compared her pictures to mine

She was so much like me
and she had taken her life
I guess that's our only difference
But we were both addicted to the knife

Now she just watches me
Live the life she had lived
I guess she sees what I see
And my life, and her life, for her I will live
