For every blade that touched your skin
I ask "Did it give you a voice?"
You opened wounds and closed your mind
And took away your choices
You forced yourself to hide beneath
The nervous glances at your wrists
To check no blood had stained your shirt
And that's no way to live
Something tells me you don't want to smile
You're happy in your self-destruction: is it tears of joy you cry?
How can you be happy with those weak and sorry eyes?
You look so far away and lost and you don't realise
It's only in their words and
In their songs that this is real
But they've got it all so, so wrong - love shouldn't make you bleed.
For every time you spoke to your god
And asked - begged him to take your life
You found your prayers unanswered and that truly
No one would care for you
You're not a martyr for his cause
When you're pressing down that knife
You're just slowly pushing him away
And what good does that do?
If I were him I'd ****ing run a mile
You got to stop digging your own grave to make it worth your while
Can you look in a mirror without seeing suicide?
Star-crossed lovers taking poison by each other's side
It's only in the movies
Where this is the final scene
It doesn't have to end that way - it's not how it has to be...
...Yes you have to cry on his shoulder
And say that without him, there's no living
Show him your scars and ****ing blame him
Tell him you can't sleep without him
Wonder why he won't give in
Watch him as he walks away ... watch him walk away...
It's the answer that you feared and the one you guaranteed
The day you slit your wrists and then cried yourself to sleep
'Cause if it isn't meant to happen, then it isn't what you need
And even if it's all you dream
Love shouldn't, shouldn't, shouldn't make you bleed.
