What's a girl to do when she can't hold her own
Pride's too thick in blood and she can't use the phone
She refuses to give up, but won't get up to reverse it
She's fallin' into darkness and she's too fuckin' nervous
She can't cry for help, her dignity's on the line,
But she's like the helpless victim of a horrible sex crime
It's not her fault, but she's scared it could be
Scared of what would be, what should be,
And when she tries the first person she can think of for help
They laugh her off since she's so upright in herself
"She'd never lose control" they say, but that's just the problem
They don't realize how long this girl's been struggin'
And as they hang up the phone it pushes her to the edge
She doesn't want to die alone, overdosed, on the bed,
She wanted to live a fun life, a free life, a full life
But nobody takes her seriously and now she's livin' no life
Her eyes spot the mirror, she could slit her wrists with the glass,
Or the knife on the kitchen table is sharp enough to get past
The skin of her arm, she could hack it up good,
Then call nine-one-one, and when they get to the neighbourhood
It'll be too late, they'll try to revive her, last minute shock
Someone cares, everyone else lied to her, she's cold as a rock
Blood's too thick running down her arm, no one told her they loved her
And now she lies in sheets of red, wishing somebody wanted her
But it's too late now, and she's not sure what she's doing is right
She wanted to see morning, this is her last glimpse of daylight
But since she thinks nobody loves her, why should she care anyway?
They never cared about her, why should she value herself today?
But she forgot, there's someone out there, she'd love to apologise to
She never told him how she felt and now she knows it's too late to
She hopes that maybe he'll know, maybe he'll realize.
But until then, she just wishes she'd said goodbye.
But suddenly the dark is fading, sunlight's pushing through
Apparently somebody was watching what she tried to do
Now she's got another chance to tell that one she loves him
And now she can dream of a future, not hopeless, not dim,
She's getting help now, she's feeling better too...
Today's the day she says and means it: "I love you."
