This girl I once knew
I once knew this girl
A few years ago
She pretended she was happy
So that no would know
Every new morning
After the long sleepless nights
She faked a sad smile
And continued to fight
She wore long sleeves and sweaters
And often she lied
So that no one would know
The sad secret she hides
No one would have guessed
How broken she was
Why she was so quiet
How she could have been so depressed
All the long hours
She spent in her room
She knew what was coming
What was happening soon
She was hopeless and gone
She was ready to leave
She held her dark secret
And rolled up her sleeve
She said her goodbyes
She was finally free
She had killed all the monsters
That no one could see
She’s sorry she hurt you
But she couldn’t have stayed
It was her only option
She refused to be saved
This girl I once knew
She’s not yet dead
I had forgotten to mention
She living again, here in my head
