The Truth
If you hurt yourself
 I'll hurt me too
 Because I sat and watched
 And now I'm the guilty one
 
 It'll save both of us
 to just stop and say
 "Look how pretty I am
 and all these people love me"
 
 I don't know too much
 But I still know a lot
 Stuff I don't want to believe
 Stuff that burns inside of me
 
 What you do to yourself
 Isn't right with the world
 These scars that you have dug
 Can easily kill
 
 I'm not just saying you
 What you do affects us all
 But I don't want to sit around
 And cry buckets at your funeral
 
 What you do to yourself
 Weighs down on me hard
 And I don't want to 
 Fall down with you too
 
 I don't know you
 But I know your past
 I don't understand 
 What you think it did to you
 
 I remember when you were born
 All I could tell your mom was
 "She's so cute"
 Can't you believe that? 
 
 I was four years old 
 But I still loved you
 No matter what you did
 To hurt me in the end
 
 Because you always have
 Stuck a knife through my shirt
 And pretended to be nice
 But you still hated me
 
 Because you hated you
 Isn't that what It's all about?
 These feelings you can't control
 Are eating your guts, hating your guts
 
 But that doesn't mean 
 You have to too
 This isn't a game
 It's real and you know it
 
 You feel it
 Because that's all you've been feeling
 And it doesn't do you good
 For me to yell at you
 
 The truth
