As the rain drops fall from the sky
My tears fall from my eyes
They whisper to me the stories I cannot forget
About the love once we shared
They can wash away my tears
But they can't wash away my pain
Sometimes I wish they could burn like acids
And erase every trace of you from me
Sometimes I wish they were freezing like snow
That could freeze my broken heart
I wish they could heal these invisible wounds on me
Wash you from my memory
But all they can do is remind me of you
Remind me of my feelings I wish you knew

They’ll check your wrists,
But not your thighs,
They’ll check your smile,
But not your eyes
They’ll avoid the truth,
Believe the lies,
Nothing to sooth,
No reason to cry,
Our smiles are bright,
Eyes are a bit dull,
Wrists are clean despite,
The blade with an emotional pull,
And we’re emotionally unstable,
But they say that’s okay,
We are all a bit of a riddle,
But that’s the only thing we can convey,
And the world will open to swallow us up,
But that’s okay, at least our habits remain,
And when their arms finally open up,
We will show them the reflection they taught us to shame,
So we paint a smile with the color of red,
From the thighs they didn’t check,
And from our eyes we bled.
And they'll only understand,
When the noose hold us by our necks,
And if they had thought twice,

Maybe our eyes they would have checked.
