When Nothing Helps
When you try so hard
When nothing helps
When you wish you would die
When you fall in love
When you know they love you
When still nothing helps
When you wish you we're dead
When you wish to no longer feel the pain
When you only live so you don't hurt them by leaving
When nothing helps
When you want to die
When you wish you could sleep
When you wish the nightmares would stop
When nothing helps
When you die a little bit more inside every night
When you fall asleep and wake up in a panic
When nothing helps
When every time you think you wonder calmly if you'll die today or tomorrow
When nothing helps
When you're madly in love
When you don't want to hurt them
When you want to hurt yourself
When you decide it's better not to hurt yourself because it would hurt them more than you
When nothing helps
When you can't be alone without finding yourself in tears
When you wish you could be held
When you have no one around to hold you
When you know that no one knows how broken you are
When you cry and no one knows because the tears never show
When you are madly in love and you know they deserve better
When you cry because you know you're holding them back
When you wish you could just be held
When nothing helps
