Attempted suicide
knocking on the door
all these messages
I hadn't noticed them before
All these different signs
of a troubled, struggling girl
she was just trying to be perfect
for the whole wide ******* world
and no one gave her a break
no one tried to make it easy
They just picked and picked and picked her apart
till she crumbled far too easily
A girl i had grown up with
known to always give you a smile
a girl much like a sister
Who had walked for miles
just to get my christmas present
because the car broke down
and the shops were gonna close,
she didnt want to let me down
A girl who was so tough
and so mighty, and so brave
a girl who tried so hard
tried so hard not to break
And I'm so godamned angry
that I didn't listen more
I didn't listen to her until
attempted suicide knocked on my door
I know it's late now, but I'll be better
