You can stop
I know you can
So please give me that knife in your hand
I don't know why you feel the need to slice you leg open and watch it bleed

If you could only understand
That I'm always here to lend a hand
Maybe then you could try
To not just feel like you're getting by

I know you're done being you
But I don't think you thought this through
So please my friend don't say goodbye
I don't think you're yet ready
To die

So stick around for a while
And lets just see if we can't find that smile
:)
