[Verse 1]
Another day, she sets foot in this prison
Dreading what they'll say
So much to give, but no one ever listens
She dreams of running away
Crippled by the way they make her feel
She takes a look at her wrists and turns to the blade
It's not a cry for attention if she just wants to feel
Anything other than the pain
[Hook]
Everyone deserves to be loved
But they make her hate everything she was sure of
Every day feels like her against the world
Now she's afraid she'll never be enough
[Chorus]
No one knows all the weight that she holds when she feels alone
The memories, they haunt her
No one sees all the pain she brings everywhere she goes
She feels they'll never want her
[Post-Chorus]
She dreams of a day when she won't have to cry herself to sleep
Staring at the scars on her wrists
She knows this is not who she wants to be
Another day, she sets foot in this prison
Dreading what they'll say
So much to give, but no one ever listens
She dreams of running away
Crippled by the way they make her feel
She takes a look at her wrists and turns to the blade
It's not a cry for attention if she just wants to feel
Anything other than the pain
[Hook]
Everyone deserves to be loved
But they make her hate everything she was sure of
Every day feels like her against the world
Now she's afraid she'll never be enough
[Chorus]
No one knows all the weight that she holds when she feels alone
The memories, they haunt her
No one sees all the pain she brings everywhere she goes
She feels they'll never want her
[Post-Chorus]
She dreams of a day when she won't have to cry herself to sleep
Staring at the scars on her wrists
She knows this is not who she wants to be
