Neverland I'm just a girl trying to find her place in this world
You asked me "What's wrong?" I asked you to count with me One One day you just stopped coming around Two Two days have passed since my last meal and I'm still staring down the toilet hoping to empty whatever is left of me Three Three words repeated over and over I love you I love you I love you I love you Four 4:00 a.m. showers letting the bathtub flow over hoping to drown the girl I hate because that's the girl I have become Five Five bottles down moving onto number Six Six daisies making a chain around my neck like a noose holding the measurement hoping that I'll at least be pretty when I die Seven Seven days every week I didn't want to get out of bed because how could I try and stand on solid ground when I'm sinking and everyone else around me is flying like Eight smoke rings escaping my lips as I wish that maybe my last breath will float up with it Nine Nine hours I should be sleeping but instead I stare at that pill bottle did you know that Ten out of Ten doctors will prescribe you with pills if you're even the slightest bit imbalanced in the brain Nine Nine years of prescriptions piling up ignored in fear of becoming a monster like the one they're trying to create Eight Eight cancer sticks at the bottom of my bag because addiction is addiction because it hurts the same Seven Seven minutes I count over and over did you know that's how long it takes to die by hanging I know because of Six words you said Five years ago "Why don't you just go **** yourself" Four attempts in one month why can't I just die Three Three hours spent sobbing on the bathroom floor with Two bullets in One gun shot bang! Zero Zero chances left

Darling Darling You are not okay Your eyes are wet And your wrists are stained Darling Darling You are not alone These thoughts are not yours You don't have to go home Darling Darling You can run away Not to danger But a place to stay Darling Darling Don't you see You don't need to go You're safe here with me Darling Darling Don't you say it We won't be better off We won't celebrate it Darling Darling Don't you cry I know it's hard So just close your eyes Darling Darling I'm right here now I will love you I think I know how Darling Darling You're alright Look at you Living another night Darling Darling You're not dead I'm so proud Now rest your head Darling Darling Look at the time You're fast asleep And you'll be just fine Darling Darling I wish you'd see I love you Just as you love me

Darling Darling
People tell me I can become whatever I want to be So I did I became a drug So sweet on the lips So soft to the touch Taking the strongest of breaths away One kiss and you're addicted You will go through withdrawals Because there will be days that my lips will no longer touch yours There will be days my touch will not meet yours You will fall to your knees when I cry So let me tell you I am nothing but trouble Yet you think I'm so great So riddle me this Is the trouble worth the disaster that follows?
