every day shes alive
she wakes up with hope
and drowns in fear
every tear that she cries
is just a little inclination of the pain inside

will no one stop her from breaking completely?

she's on the floor sobbing jesus where'd you go,
you were my best friend and i love you,
my tears have blurred my vision
and i cant see you anymore
yet im asking you for help,
come and save me

today this morning she wakes up
looks out the window and feels hope,
then she looks down at her wrists,
and remembers all the pain she feels,

can no one see the pain inside her?

shes on the floor sobbing jesus where'd you go,
you were my best friend and i love you,
my tears have blurred my vision
and i cant see you anymore
yet im asking you for help,
come and save me

she gets up the next day,
and sees the bright warm sun,
and feels like life is good again,
then she looks at her wrist,
expecting to see scars,
instead she sees a cross and the simple words,
I love you.
