Take this bow and arrow
And stand by this tree
Let me walk fifty steps back
Now aim it at me
Straight for the heart
Not in the knee
And not in the eye
So I surely can't see
But right in the chest
It's as simple as can be
Just please be quick
I just want to be free
You're torturing me now
You know I won't flee
Hurt me one last time
It can't be hard for thee
So do me one last favour
A final remedy
Just take that bow and arrow
And aim it straight at me

I was going through a point in my life where I was getting hurt by people who I thought cared for me and I saw my friends go through it too, so I wrote this for all of us.
