She's only 17, her whole life's ahead of her She hates school because the people there discredit her Her boyfriend tries to show her that's not how it seems But everyday she just gets lowered with her self-esteem He let's her know that every night will have a brighter day She even tried to overdose and take her life away She's feeling hopeless there just sitting down beside her bed Then he takes his hand and places it beside her head He tries to hold her but with every touch she still resists And then he sees the scars that bury deep within her wrists She's feeling numb, he tries to beg and plead and ask her, "Why?" She says this way she has control of the pain she feels inside He's asking her, "How long it's going since you've felt this? Way because you got me here, just feeling so damn helpless" She says, "It's been a while. I guess I needed better luck" And then he screams at her and tells her, "Baby, never cut!" Nobody seems to get you, you feel you're on your own But listen, pretty lady, you don't have to be alone So, baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut You can do anything, just promise baby you won't cut I know your heart is hurting, you think the road has end You may just feel that blade you're holding is your only friend But baby don't cut, baby don't cut You can do anything, just promise baby you won't cut The next day at school she's feeling better than the day before Even cracked a couple smiles as she walked the corridor But all that seemed to end, she dropped her books when she walked into class And every student in the room just seemed to point and laugh She couldn't take it anymore, she sent her boy a text She said, "I love you with my body, heart and soul to death" He thought nothing, typed "I love you", then he sent it By "death" he didn't know that she had literally just meant it She ducked the next class, ran home into the bathroom Thought to herself she wouldn't break her promise that soon One cut, two cuts, three cuts, four The blood just started dripping from the tub to the floor Her boyfriend had a feeling in his stomach that he hated He followed it right down to her house he never waited The front door was open, he heard the water running He stormed into the bathroom and his heart just started gunning Nobody seems to get you, you feel you're on your own But listen pretty lady you don't have to be alone So baby don't cut, baby don't cut You can do anything, just promise baby you won't cut I know your heart is hurting, you think the road has end You may just feel that blade you're holding is your only friend But baby don't cut, baby don't cut You can do anything, just promise baby you won't cut He puts her arm around his shoulder, he's just tryna lean her back up Yelling out her name as he lays her beside the bathtub Feels his whole world just took a hit from a big avalanche Screaming out so heavily, "Somebody call an ambulance!" Feeling mad angry like somebody's led her onto this Her eyeballs are rolling, drifting out of consciousness Thinking to himself why the hell did she just stop at will The tears just keep on rolling as they head to the hospital Paramedics rush her in, the doctor calls emergency She's lost a lot of blood the place looks like a murder scene An hour later, the doc walks over with a sour face And says, "Excuse me for the words that I'm about to say I'm sorry for your loss" the boy just starts collapsing His own world, his own girl just took a crashing Saying to himself that it's his fault and that he let it up "Baby, I thought you made a promise you would never cut" Nobody seems to get you, you feel you're on your own But listen pretty lady you don't have to be alone So baby don't cut, baby don't cut You can do anything, just promise baby you won't cut I know your heart is hurting, you think the road has end You may just feel that blade you're holding is your only friend But baby don't cut, baby don't cut You can do anything, just promise baby you won't cut
