          Pretty Smile

I really wish you could understand
This wasn’t something I had planned
I didn’t mean to cut my wrists this way
I didn’t wake up today
And I think oh maybe I an make myself die

Maybe I can say good bye
To everything that’s wrong with me
Don’t judge me, because you can never see
The real pain inside of me
But I don’t want your pity
I don’t need you to tell me I am pretty
Don’t want to see that sad little smile
I don’t need to hear that my life is worth while

I just need you to go away
Because there is nothing you can say
To make me stay sane
To take away the pain
So just treat me like you always have before
That’s the only thing that I would truly thank you for
