How Long?

The minutes tick
And the days pass
How long am I gonna cut myself?
How long will it last?

The days go by
And I'm still feeling this pain
How long will this last?
Will I ever be the same?

I have lines on my arms,
And cuts on my wrists
I'm sorry I have to
I know I'll be missed.

Should I let this all go?
Should I leave a mark on my neck?
Since the day you left me
My life has been a wreck.

The pain is getting worse
I have a hole in my heart that's dark
It feels like a needle went through my heart
And all this pain is leaving a mark.

My days are cold and endless
My skies are cold and grey
The depression is getting worse
It gets worse day-by-day.

So, here's a note I'm leaving
I'm sorry it has to be this way
But I can't take this pain anymore
So, I have to take this pain away.

Please don't be upset
The love I have for you I'll never deny
So, I'll give you one last hug
And now I must say goodbye
