once i knew this girl
she cut herself every night
i asked what i could do to help her
she'd simply reply
"nothing i'm all right"

attempt after attempt i tried to get in
i thought to myself
"eventually she'll let me in"

but the results always remained the same
she just loved making it all into a game

so why are you cutting yourself tonight girl
do you really think you have it so bad in this world?

you're young and naive and if it were up to me
that blade would be causing more than scratches by now

you've got a permanent broken heart
and you love the attention you get
from playing that part

are you drowning in your sea of self loathing yet?
i wish i could go back and take away the first day that we met

so why are you cutting yourself tonight girl
do you really think you have it so bad in this world?

you're young and naive and if it were up to me
that blade would be causing more than scratches by now

my biggest mistake was caring
it made me seem like a creep
well i hope you find someone new
that doesn't give a damn if you bleed
