She's only 17, her whole life's ahead of her
She hates school because the people there discredit her
Her boyfriend tries to show her that's not how it seems
But every day she just gets lowered with her self-esteem
He lets her know that every night will have a brighter day
She even tried to overdose and take her life away
She's feeling hopeless there just sitting down beside her bed
And then he takes his hand and places it beside her head
He tries to hold her, but with every touch she still resists
And then he sees the scars that bury deep within her wrists
She's feeling numb, he starts to beg and plead and ask her why
She says this way she has control of pain she feels inside
He's asking her, "How long it's going since you've felt this way?
Because you've got me here just feeling so **** helpless"
She says, "It's been a while; I guess I needed better luck
And then he screams at her and tells her, "Baby, never cut!"
Nobody seems to get you, you feel you're on your own
But listen, pretty lady, you don't have to be alone
So baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut
You can do anything, just promise, baby, you won't cut
I know your heart is hurting, you think the road has end
You may just feel that blade you're holding is your only friend
But baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut
You can do anything, just promise, baby, you won't cut
The next day at school she's feeling better than the day before
Even cracked a couple smiles as she walked the corridor
But all that seemed to end, she dropped her books as she went into class. And every student in the room just seemed to point and laugh
She couldn't take it anymore, she sent her boy a text
It said, "I love you with my body, heart and soul to death"
He thought nothing, typed "I love you"; then he sent it
By death he didn't know that she had literally just meant it
She ducked the next class, ran home into her bathroom
Thought to herself she wouldn't brake her promise that soon
One cut... two cuts... three cuts... four
The blood just started dripping from the tub to the floor
Her boyfriend had a feeling in his stomach that he hated
He followed it and ran down to her house, he never waited
The front door was open, he heard the water running
He stormed into the bathroom, and his heart just started gunning
He puts her arm around his shoulder, he's trying to lean her back up
Yelling out her name as he lays her beside the bathtub
He feels his whole world just took a hit from a big avalanche
Screaming out so heavily, "Somebody call an ambulance!"
Felling mad angry, like somebody's led her on to this
Her eyeballs are rolling, drifting out of consciousness
Thinking to himself "Why the hell didn't she stop at will?"
The tears just keep on rolling as they head to the hospital
Paramedics rush her in, doctor calls emergency
She's lost a lot of blood, the place looks like a ****** scene
An hour later, the doc walks in with a sour face
And says, "Excuse me for the words that I'm about to say
I'm sorry for your loss," the boy just starts collapsing
His own world, his own girl just took a crashing
Saying to himself that it's his fault and that he let it up
Baby, I thought you promised you would never cut...
