Listen To My Words

So as you stand before me as I look down at the ground

Listen to my words, because I know no one ever has

I know, I'm sorry

I've gone through this before

Sometimes the ghostly whispering in my head

Gets to be a little too much for me to handle

 

So as you hold me close as tears flow down my face

Listen to my words, because I'm afraid no one else will

I'm always sad, and I'm always lonely

But I can never tell you that I'm breaking slowly

It hurts enough thinking I will never be good enough

But it hurts even more now that others think it too

 

So as the blood drains from my slim wrists

Listen to my words, because I know no one else will

I tried, I swear, but while I was busy waiting for a knife to find my back

It stabbed me in the front, and I was caught off-balance

 

So as my eyes close peacefully and tears stream down your face

Listen to my words, because I know I won't be here much longer

Do not tell others I died for attention; that's far from the truth

I died trying to fight the demons in my head

Because as some stories go, not all have happy endings
