Pretty girl with eyes shut tight,
She wises she was dead,
She sits alone and cries at night,
Her body bleeding red.
Her friends all seem so full of cheer,
They don't know what they've said,
She hides her tears; they'll never know,
Her body bleeding red.
The things they've said, they made her numb
The words stick in her head,
The words now on her soft, pale skin,
Her body bleeding red.
The razors gone, where did they go?
She uses knives instead,
her is all so broken up,
Her body bleeding red.
There's no escape, no place to hide,
The monster now is dead,
Her body lying still and alone,
No longer bleeding red.
