The Truth
If you hurt yourself
I'll hurt me too
Because I sat and watched
And now I'm the guilty one
It'll save both of us
to just stop and say
"Look how pretty I am
and all these people love me"
I don't know too much
But I still know a lot
Stuff I don't want to believe
Stuff that burns inside of me
What you do to yourself
Isn't right with the world
These scars that you have dug
Can easily kill
I'm not just saying you
What you do affects us all
But I don't want to sit around
And cry buckets at your funeral
What you do to yourself
Weighs down on me hard
And I don't want to
Fall down with you too
I don't know you
But I know your past
I don't understand
What you think it did to you
I remember when you were born
All I could tell your mom was
"She's so cute"
Can't you believe that?
I was four years old
But I still loved you
No matter what you did
To hurt me in the end
Because you always have
Stuck a knife through my shirt
And pretended to be nice
But you still hated me
Because you hated you
Isn't that what It's all about?
These feelings you can't control
Are eating your guts, hating your guts
But that doesn't mean
You have to too
This isn't a game
It's real and you know it
You feel it
Because that's all you've been feeling
And it doesn't do you good
For me to yell at you
The truth
