I met this girl that claimed she didn't want to live
It made me think back to when I was a kid
I experienced pain like most people do
But I always thought to myself this can't all be true
Something had to be wrong with this picture I'm seeing
I'm yelling so loud but its like no one hears me screaming
I look at her face and see the hurt in her eyes
I pick my words carefully because I know she has already heard too many lies
I want to say something to comfort her pain
I know all to well those feelings of shame
She said the cutting helps her but I could tell that it didn't
She spoke with reassuring words but her eyes read something different
She had no idea of the people I've lost
They thought taking their own lives was the only way to make it all stop
Little does she know the regret they must feel
To be gone from their loved ones because they couldn't deal
With the pressures life brings everyone has to face it
You live and you learn only time can replace it
So when I asked her to give it time I was pleading
To stop craving the pain and the bleeding
Give life a chance because it's passing you by
While you sit and you wallow and ask yourself why
Some things in this life go unexplained
But if you die now it would be in vain
Cause all that would be left is a girl without a name
