She's only 17, her whole life's ahead of her She ha tes school because the people there disc redit her
Her boy friend tries to show her that's not how it seems
But everyday she just gets lowered with her self-esteem
He let's her know that every night will have a brighter day
She even tried to over dose and take her life away
She's feeling hopeless there just sitting down beside her bed
Then he takes his hand and places it beside her head
He tries to hold her but with every touch she still resists
And then he sees the scars that bury deep within her wrists
She's feeling numb, he tries to beg and plead and ask her, "Why?"
She says this way she has control of the pain she feels inside
He's asking her, "How long it's going since you've felt this?
Way because you got me here, just feeling so dam n helpless."
She says, "It's been a while. I guess I needed better luck."
And then he screams at her and tells her, "Baby, never cut!"
Nobody seems to get you, you feel you're on your own
But listen, pretty lady, you don't have to be alone
So, baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut
You can do anything, just promise baby you won't cut
I know your heart is hurting, you think the road has end
You may just feel that bl ade you're holding is your only friend
But baby don't cut, baby don't cut.
You can do anything, just promise baby you won't cut
The next day at school she's feeling better than the day before
Even cracked a couple smiles as she walked the corridor
But all that seemed to end: she dropped her books when she walked into class
And every student in the room just seemed to point and laugh
She couldn't take it anymore, she sent her boy a text
She said, "I love you with my body, heart and soul to death."
He thought nothing, typed "I love you", then he sent it
By "death" he didn't know that she had literally just meant it
She ducked the next class, ran home into the bathroom
Thought to herself she wouldn't break her promise that soon
One cut... two cuts... three cuts... four
The blood just started dripping from the tub to the floor
Her boy friend had a feeling in his stomach that he ha ted
He followed it right down to her house he never waited
The front door was open, he heard the water running
He stormed into the bathroom and his heart just started gun ning
Nobody seems to get you, you feel you're on your own
But listen pretty lady you don't have to be alone
So baby don't cut, baby don't cut
You can do anything, just promise baby you won't cut
I know your heart is hurting, you think the road has end
You may just feel that blade you're holding is your only friend
But baby don't cut, baby don't cut
You can do anything, just promise baby you won't cut.
He puts her arm around his shoulder, he's just tryna lean her back up
Yelling out her name as he lays her beside the bathtub
Feels his whole world just took a hit from a big avalanche
Screaming out so heavily, "Somebody call an ambulance!"
Feeling mad angry like somebody's led her onto this
Her eyeballs are rolling, drifting out of consciousness
Thinking to himself why the he ll did she just stop at will
The tears just keep on rolling as they head to the hospital
Paramedics rush her in, the doctor calls emergency
She's lost a lot of blood the place looks like a mur der scene
An hour later, the doc walks over with a sour face
And says, "Excuse me for the words that I'm about to say
I'm sorry for your loss, " the boy just starts collapsing
His own world, his own girl just took a crashing.
Saying to himself that it's his fault and that he let it up
"Baby, I thought you made a promise you would never cu t."
Nobody seems to get you, you feel you're on your own
But listen pretty lady you don't have to be alone.
So baby don't cu t, baby don't cu t
You can do anything, just promise baby you won't cu t
I know your heart is hurting, you think the road has end
You may just feel that bla de you're holding is your only friend
But baby don't cut, baby don't cut
You can do anything, just promise baby you won't cut
