The Blood, the Pain, the Harm
she paints her feelings on her skin
in her head a story lies within
when shes ready she'll share
but right now she's still unaware
the slices across her arm
the blood, the pain, the harm
a habit shes been perfecting
her problems shes been neglecting
the actions and decisions
the right amount of precision
in the words she spoke
as his heart slowly broke
the pain, the torture, the ache
your heart you opened, only for it to break
your trust you gave, only to be taken advantage by
you believed it all, but all was a lie
thoughts and memories
rewind and start again
they leave you wondering
...is this the end?
the slices across her arm
the blood, the pain, the harm
a habit shes been perfecting
her problems shes been neglecting
the truth, it bends it folds, betrayal has been told
im down on my knees, im drowning in tears
sceaming please, please dont leave me like this
you turned away, now ive seen it all
faster and faster i begin to fall
my name ill never hear you call
our existence has finally deceased
one slice and your memory has been erased
no more hopeless dreams left to chase
i thought this through
and im better off without you
i thought this through
and im so much better without you
the slices across her arm
the blood, the pain, the harm
