No one knows the pain i hold inside
no one understands why i run & hide
I wish i could pull up my sleeve and show my arm
i wish people would understand why i cause myself harm
no one knows about all the pain
no one understands i\'d do it again
just give me a knife
i promise to be careful, i wont take my life
ill glide it smoothly across my skin
watching the pain pour out from within
i might tell you, ill stop but i won\'t
i might tell you i used to cut, but now i don\'t
it\'s all a lie
and at night i cry
coz it kills me to lie to you
but i know you\'d never understand the truth
you already don\'t understand
so dont tell me you do and hold my hand
if you understood, you\'d let me do it
you wouldn\'t get so mad when i slit
you wouldn\'t tell me to let go of the knife
you\'d understand it was my choice, it\'s my life
so if you love me let me be
one day i\'ll let myself see
i promise i\'ll soon come to realize
how wrong it was what i was doing in your eyes
