Somehow it’s the pain that keeps me going
Whether it’s the red from my wrist that’s flowing
Or the pain from my binder that’s so tight I can barely breathe
The pain somehow keeps me from joining those beneath
The earth that everybody walks so lightly
When everything painful in this world keeps me hanging on so tightly
I don’t know when it all started to disappear
Maybe it’s when people decided that they couldn’t be near
Or maybe it was when I put on the tie
And suddenly it all became a lie
Just to keep from ending it all
I suddenly hear a loud call
And I think this is the end for me
And then I start to see
That all this pain that I put myself through
Is just to hide from the scars that were left by you
