Attention

I cry, when I know you dont want me to cry
I bleed, when youre working over time to close my wounds
I cut, when you have tried to take all my knives
I am sick, as you hold back my hair tonight

This mask I wear, I know you dont see
I try the lie that most people believe
But you look straight though and all you can see is me
I dont know if I like that, but maybe its why I cant leave

I cry, when I know you dont want me to cry
I bleed, when youre working over time to close my wounds
I cut, when you have tried to take all my knives
I am sick, as you hold back my hair tonight
I am dying, as you fight to keep me alive

The attention I seek, I hate that you have to give it to me
The sorrow I carry, I do so alone
Because I feel so weak, forcing your pity from you
I cant believe I could stoop so low,
All this... just to feel love... was it worth it?

I cry, when I know you dont want me to cry
I bleed, when youre working over time to close my wounds
I cut, when you have tried to take all my knives
I am sick, as you hold back my hair tonight
I am dying, as you fight to keep me alive
Ill sleep if you just hold me tight

Im not worth this, I should stay alone
