If You Only Knew

I was drowning in darkness
But now I’m calm
Just relaxing in the bath
The water is warm
The pain in my wrists gone
My blood still flows
Cause I love you so much
You don’t even know
And as the world fades away
My last thought is you
Though you don’t know who I am
That much is true

Why are kids making kids cry
Why are they left out to die
When did we stop teaching them
It’s okay to feel broken
Because it does get better
And soon this won’t matter
There are people who love you
If you only knew

Saw you through the window
That is my screen
You were all I thought about
Even in my dreams
But it’s a one way glass
You don’t see me
Nothing I wouldn’t give
For that not to be
I could break the glass
And there’ll be a way
For you to see through the crack
I have hope one day

Why are kids making kids cry
Why are they left out to die
When did we stop teaching them
It’s okay to feel broken
Because it does get better
And soon this won’t matter
There are people who love you
If you only knew

I took some pictures
And put them online
I thought they looked okay
I thought they were fine
I wanted you to notice
Your fans sure did
They made me want to hide
To go off grid
I tried to get away from
All their abuse
They can be really hurtful
When they let loose

Why are kids making kids cry
Why are they left out to die
When did we stop teaching them
It’s okay to feel broken
Because it does get better
And soon this won’t matter
There are people who love you
If you only knew

I turned to see this girl
Staring back at me
She wasn’t much to look at
Not that I could see
She didn’t have clear skin
But crooked teeth
A nose that’s just too big
That girl was me
I started to believe them
Those things they said
That’s when the darkness
Got in my head

Why are kids making kids cry
Why are they left out to die
When did we stop teaching them
It’s okay to feel broken
Because it does get better
And soon this won’t matter
There are people who love you
If you only knew

I stopped posting pictures
For you to see
Stopped trying to get noticed
You’d never see me
Cause I’m not even worthy
For someone like you
You deserve better than me
I know it’s true
Someone with small nose
A girl who’s pretty
Would look good on your arm
Anyone but me

Why are kids making kids cry
Why are they left out to die
When did we stop teaching them
It’s okay to feel broken
Because it does get better
And soon this won’t matter
There are people who love you
If you only knew

I have a confession
You were my obsession
You deserve perfection
And not my reflection

Why are kids making kids cry
Why are they left out to die
When did we stop teaching them
It’s okay to feel broken
If only you knew
There are people who love you
