Forever living a lie,
late at night you can hear her cry.
The doctors say she's fine,
"just give it some time"

But she is not okay,
because this girl took her life today.
She couldn't keep running away,
she couldn't stand the pain.
She felt so alone,
this fear she could not overcome,
the demons in her head had won.

She felt trapped,
a hell in her own head.
She tried to speak out,
but her voice could not be heard.
Every time she spoke about it,
no one understood.

The voices got louder,
as she cut deeper.
One strike after another,
with tears rolling down her face.
She didn't want to be here anymore,
she wanted to be in a better place.
