Should she die before she wakes

Crying softly
screaming softer
doesn't know what's wrong
what's wrong with her?

a religious girl
who dies inside
it gets worse
with every tear she cries

she can't stop herself
and she makes a promise
but it was only to keep it happy,
that heart of his

she won't ever keep it
it was a lie
she can't promise to be happy
when she wants to die

so she gives up quick
and cries out loud
knows the end
can't be far away now

and she slits her wrists
in a bathtub deep
and prays to the Lord
her soul He'll keep

cuz she'll die
before she wakes
and she doesn't want the Devil
her soul to take
