as this life slips away
she was very tortured
she could not stay

she cut so no one could see
just how much she bled
so abused in this life
just to hear what he had said

now her life is slipping away
her best friend in the world now chasing
as the gun was put to her head
her mother now pasing

one simple life slips away
as the blade slices her skin
what will she do now
as the blade makes its sin

people don't understand her
the only one...he is cherished
he is the only one mommy hates
but now her only daughter has perished

she hides behind her poetry
only letting him in
nobody else permitted
as she cuts herself again

it tears him up inside
to hear her struggling screams
to know that he has done all he can do
or so it seems

he promises never to give up
his heart breaking
he loves her, his best friend
they are love in the making

she calls to tell him goodbye
as one life slips away
he counts to three
and I love you is what they say
