Hey,
you're never going to break
       this system.
How can you love
      someone when you can't even
   love yourself?
When you stay up late
       so nobody would see
how you cut your skin
     open until your blood
           comes, flowing nonstop
And you waste so much toothpaste
   because purging and brushing
your teeth works best for you
    Now you can't even give  
      a great *******
without wanting to throw-up.

No one will be brave enough
to take a risk with you
       because you can't even
love yourself.

You're just waiting
    and wanting to fade away
soon.

So you try to numb the pain
    when it intensifies
but most of the time.

You feel nothing.  

but baby, that's okay.
          You're so good at pretending

they're never going to figure out
   how much you want to
slit your throat
      from point A
  down to your navel
