I see how you hide behind your smile How you lie about how things are The marks on your wrists tell the truth The truth you try to hide from me Me of all people You don't know how much I love you You think you're not loved You think everything's your fault But little by little it's tearing away at your skin Chipping and eroding the harsh ocean waves at such an innocent cliff But little by little I try to add more sand Back the cliff in right so it won't erode Then a hurricane cakes And I think you're gone forever You can't add to something that is no longer there But then I see a speck Just a little speck of what was before a massive cliff
