Sitting on your arm 

I'm not going away 

You try to cover me 

But your sleeves won't stay 

 

I've seen you through the tears 

I begged you from the blade

I've begged you to fight your fears 

guess you can't hear me anyway 

 

Please put down the blade 

I don't want more friends 

You're too pretty to bleed 

and its too hot for sleeves
