She said when you're ready to see the end

Just pick up a pen and listen up my friend

Instead of giving up this time

Turn this feelings into a rhyme

My soul is exhausted and I've come so far

This is exactly why I bought her a star

Everything about her I thought I knew

Turned out to be things that weren't even true

She hurt me worse than anyone could ever warn

She took my happy and made me wish I was not born

I spent a year wishing I were dead

Because of the thoughts that wouldn't leave my head

My soul is bleeding and I can't get it to stop

How much more must I take before I can finally drop
