She was depressed
and cut herself
Got drunk, and tipsy
then cried cause
it's the routine
Being just a teen

She watched her moms boyfriend
yell in her face,
Threw stuff on in the house,
then he'd call her names.

He smashed the window
2doors and the flat screen TV.
Laptop across the hall,
Threw dishes and even cans of beer

Her brother was moved
to a separate home
She misses him and cries
for him here in return

and when her momma's asleep
She sneaked a drink
'cause that's what eased her pain

She stared at the knives
Tried not to abide
But she loved blood trickling...

Now she's not depressed
Has scars on her wrist
and now she's scared to drink
'cause of her old routine
when she was just a teen.
