Some have spent 18 years trying to live
While other have just wanted to die
And you may think I’m of the later
That I cut to bleed my life away
You say I’m a masochist or just a bit insane
Or I’m just a lonely girl always left out in the rain
But you don’t know me, you don’t know my life
I might just need to bleed to know that I’m alive
I’ve been to hell and back
Now all that’s left is ice
I’ve been broken beyond repair
And my wounds only froze
I feel so dead inside
Until I begin to bleed
You stare at the scars on my arms
But the real wounds you can’t see
You think that I want to die
When all I want is to feel
I have been numb for so long
I don’t know what’s left
I need the pain to know
Because I can’t feel anything else
I’ve been to hell and back
Now all that’s left is ice
I’ve been broken beyond repair
And my wounds only froze
But I’m still here just trying to live
Trying to feel the sun one my skin
But I can't feel its warmth
I can only feel the knife
