I'm afraid again
I'm alone again
I'm trying again
To have a voice
To speak up
To show someone this pain

Here it comes
This is the part
This is where you pass me off
Just a child
Just a kid
Knowing nothing of pain
Don't be silly
You aren't really hurting
You aren't really dead

It's not a real pulse
My heart stopped
Long ago
Do I not look dead?
Of course not
You aren't even looking

I'd do anything to breathe again
I'd give anything to feel anything but this
Anything but pain
Maybe, just maybe
If I carve in the heart lines
Deep enough
My heart will start again
