Don't Cut!


DON'T CUT!

They say it's not worth it

Theysay it's just gonna hurt

They saay it's just gonna scar

But what do they know

For that second I was in control

For that second I wasn't in pain

For that second I wasn't worthless

DON'T CUT!

They say you're so much better than that

They say it will hurt other people

They say that people care

But what do they know

For that second I didn't care

For that second nothing mattered

For that second I felt I was in control

DON'T CUT!

It's never worth it

It will hurt other people

You are better than this

People care

You're not worthless

There's hope

It will scar

You're worth it

This is what they know

DON'T CUT!
