Every night I cry          I know
I wish I had the courage         you do
The courage to grab that blade      that is not courage
To put it against my skin     why
Drag it till the blood seeps  the surface      remain untainted
As if it would help            it will not
As if I would be better afterwards      you will

I do not cry every night         really
I have courage                really
I dont want a blade         really
Im fine really      F.I.N.E ****** up.  Insecure. Neurotic. Emotional
Nothings is wrong      there is never nothing wrong
Im just tired              we all are
I dont need help       we all do
I feel just fine I promise       *we  all do
