Lyrics
She's only 17, her whole life's ahead of her
She hates school because the people there discredit her
Her boyfriend tries to show her that's not how it seems
But everyday she just gets lowered with her self—esteem
He let's her know that every night will have a brighter day
She even tried to overdose and take her life away
She's feeling hopeless there just sitting down beside her bed
Then he takes his hand and places it beside her head
He tries to hold her but with every touch she still resists
And then he sees the scars that bury deep within her wrists
She's feeling numb, he tries to beg and plead and ask her, "Why?"
She says this way she has control of the pain she feels inside
He's asking her, "How long it's going since you've felt this?
Way because you got me here, just feeling so damn helpless"
She says, "It's been a while. I guess I needed better luck"
And then he screams at her and tells her, "Baby, never cut!"
Nobody seems to get you, you feel you're on your own
But listen, pretty lady, you don't have to be alone
So, baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut
You can do anything, just promise baby you won't cut
I know your heart is hurting, you think the road has end
You may just feel that blade you're holding is your only friend
But baby don't cut, baby don't cut
You can do anything, just promise baby you won't cut
The next day at school she's feeling better than the day before
Even cracked a couple smiles as she walked the corridor
But all that seemed to end, she dropped her books when she walked into class
And every student in the room just seemed to point and laugh
She couldn't take it anymore, she sent her boy a text
She said, "I love you with my body, heart and soul to death"
He thought nothing, typed "I love you", then he sent it
By "death" he didn't know that she had literally just meant it
She ducked the next class, ran home into the bathroom
Thought to herself she wouldn't break her promise that soon
One cut, two cuts, three cuts, four
The blood just started dripping from the tub to the floor
