Taking a Stand
I can see you hurting
and those pills you take just aint working
you always put yourself down
when you walk you face the ground
the scars on your wrist are so clear
its everyone elses thoughts that you fear
when people look you look away
you dont want them to see you this way
when you get home all you can do is cry
while putting the razor to your skin wondering why
how anyone can do what they did
you used to be a kind and innocent kid
until they tore you apart
like putting a needle through an already broken heart
but i promise times will get better
youll get through this stormy weather
and shine brighter than the sun
and forget all the things that theyve done
because theres always gonna be a brighter day
when you face the sky and start to say
it doesnt matter what they did too me
im gonna be the person i was meant to be
show them all that i can
overcome all the pain
and take a stand
