She hurt herself again today
Feeling she can't let me take the pain away
As sick as she thinks her thoughts are
Their really quite normal for her & make us who we are.
I want to hold her close, but I'm to far away.
God only knows, I want to take her pain away
She's been hurt so much,it's hard to trust
I see how she feels, because I felt & feel this way to, and it kills.
Wanting help, but refusing to take it.
All of this has got my heart to achin'.
Her escape is shutting the door & tearing her flesh down to the core.
Her innocence was ripped away
so now she hurts herself everyday
A little child & she was hurt so badly
It wasn't her fault she was hurt so madly
She hurts herself in every possible way.
I wish I could take all her pain away.
I wish I could hold her close everyday.
It tears me up inside to know she herself
and there's nothing I can do by myself.
I hope this lasts, god I do
I just hope she knows how much I love her
and how all of this is true.
Suicide haunts her mind, just like it used to mine.
She hurt herself again today
but all I can do is try to take her pain away.
