Scarred Up Skin ..

Sometimes this is what I hear people say
"I just don't want to live my life this way!"

They say that they just cant take it anymore ..
And want to throw everything straight out the door.

And then they do the most craziest things
Like say they hate everyone and everything.

Then they will cut and cut so very deep
And put down the knife and then go weep

I hate to see my friends that way
So this is what I have to say ..

I've done it twice but never again
I hate to see it happen to my friends

I know sometimes you cant help what you do
And then that knife forces you to make the move

You always say that your going to stop soon
But then you go cut and cut till there's no more room

But to me it seems you haven't stopped yet
In a couple of years your bound to regret

You'll regret the way you handled life
You'll regret taking it over with a knife

You say that you know, your doing the wrong thing
But then you say, that you cant help but bring

That razor sharp knife right up to your scarred up skin
And then cry out loud, because of the trouble your in

I know how you feel, cause I felt the same
You feel lost and your in a lot of pain

Not only the pain that you can physically feel
But the pain deep inside, that you know is real

I know why you cut, I really do
But now I ask you this, how about you?

Do you know what you are really doing and why?
Do you know one day I might not be able to say "goodbye"?

I keep thinking, what if it goes to far
Because that is how great friends are

Im scared for you, like you were scared for me
But that is only because we care for each other you see ..

All I am asking of you is to stop
Stop and just let that knife drop.

Drop to floor before it reaches your skin
Let it drop to the floor for good with a grin

I never again want to see you as sad as were..
You see, "Was I sad like that once?",well sure

We all have those days when we must confess
That "It" is the only way to relieve such stress...

If you know what I mean, then you may know how I feel
That "It", sometimes seems to make life seem more real..
