I Can Always Pretend

The cold touch of the metal On my soft bare skin The turn out can only be fatal Ill do this with a grin No one can ever tell That i even feel this way Depression doesnt ring their bell But i know that this is the day The day this all ends The day that i fade The day i make amends The day i wont be afraid Iv hidden it for so long No ones ever known Im not really this strong The real me has never been shown This metal razor is cold On my oh so soft bare skin The move im making will be bold When i decide to let depression win My life cut short My life gone My life had no support My life is done This razor now bloody With a smile on my face No movement from my body My smile not out of place Lying on the floor Note tucked in my hand Please do not ignore For this is what it read "I ended it for you I ended it so be happy Its what i had to do I even made it snappy You were the one That i chose You made me numb And let me go My life had its ending But see im smiling Im still pretending That your 'i love you' wasn't you lying"
