Selfish

When you're alive, your miserable
And all you want to do is die

You cut and make yourself bleed
You get addicted to that pain
Because it's the only one you can control

You mope around saying nothing is worth it
And you just wish you were dead

Then when the night comes
And you can't take it anymore
You cut real deep

You feel life leaving your body
After you're finally dead
You think to yourself
Yes, I don't have to deal with life anymore

You see you mother and father
They are crying over your lifeless body

What have you done
You were a selfish fool
You killed yourself and ruined your family's life

What was the point in killing yourself
So you could be free
But look at what it did to them
They're torn up inside

They think they did something wrong
They lost their child
Your family loved you and you left them

You did that, and never thought
You didn't care what it would do to them

And now they will be dying inside
For the rest of their lives
