  She hates school because the people there discredit her.
C
  Her boyfriend tries to show her that's not how it seems.

C
  She's feeling hopeless there just sitting down beside her bed
G                                            E
  And then he takes his hand and places it beside her head.

Am
  He tries to hold her but with every touch she still resists.
F
  And then he sees the scars that burry deep within her wrists.
C
  She's feeling numb, he tries to beg and plead and ask her why.
G                                          E
  She says this way she has control of the pain she feels inside.

Am
   He's asking her How long it's going since you've felt this?
F
  Way because you got me here just feeling so damn helpless
C
  She says it's been a while I guess I needed better luck.
G                                          E
  And then he screams at her and tells her baby never cut!

   G                                                E
By death he didn't know that she had literally just meant it.

He followed it right down to her house he never waited
    C
The front door was open, he heard the water running.
