I try to be strong, I seem so tough
But inside I'm human, I need your love
I need to know that I matter, I need to know that you care
That you'll be there for me anytime, anywhere

But this dream disappears and I awake to dark night
Unable to sleep in the haunting moonlight
Feeling so lonely that I start to cry
But no-one's there to ask me why
There're no arms around me, no soothing voice in my ear
No caressing hand to wipe away these tears

As the realization sinks in, I reach for my knife
Wishing it were sharp enough to take away my life

As the day goes on, I smile their way
Acting all normal, as if I were ok
"What's that?" oh a scratch nothing more
I consider telling the truth that they never ask for
I know they don't care so why bother at all?
They don't know all the torment into which I'm thrown

I boldly face those who despise me for nothing
Tell them f*** off and walk away laughing
I challenge and dare cuz I know I have will
They all back off, thinkin' I'm real
They see I can take it, it seems I won't break
But I'm already broken, no more can I take

Yet night comes once more, and again I'm awake
Finding this desperation too much to take
And again these cuts… this time they ceaselessly bleed
Over time they've become an unrenounceable need
I'm near the end now, about to break
And don't you f***ers dare say it was a mistake
