giving up everything
always seems so easy
just to end all your problems
all your worries
leaving all the stressful memories behind
but really what your leaving behind
is all your loved ones
ever thought hmm...
who's gonna miss me
if I just die this very night
if i take that knife
and run it across my wrist
and as I'm falling to the floor
my mind just fills up with the guilt
the tears start running down my face
as your picturing yourself
laying there on the floor motionless
with your family standing over you
crying as their tears are running onto you
and even tho your not there
you can feel the emotions running
wondering why did I do this to them
why didn't they try to help
the first time I had tried this samething
but then I look back
and remember why
it was all my fault
I'm the one that told them to go away
and to never come back
and now at this time
is when I needed them the most
wishing I could be right there
holding their hands tightly
saying I'm sorry mother and father
all I wanted was to take the easy way
to leave all my worries behind
but now that I see you this way
I want to take it all back
just to go back and start over
is all I have ever wanted
but now this time
all I wanted was to scare myself
as I have done so before
but as I ran the knife over my wrist
I had cut to deep this time
it was all over
there was no going back now
but all I can think about now
as I'm looking down on them
is that I'm sorry mom and dad
for putting you through this pain and suffering
and just wishing I could go back
