You Saw Me
You saw me crying a river last night
I was holding a knife
You saw me down on my knees
Begging for mercy
You saw me screaming WHY
looking out into the night
You saw me praying to God
asking for my life to pause
Why did you just stand there starring
Why didn't you come to my side
Why did you just stand there when I cried
Why didn't you rush to me when you saw me lift the knife
You saw me slitting my wrists
letting the damage done to me show this time
You saw me sitting there
letting the blood flow to the ground
You saw me wisper out
that I would end my life
You saw me slide the blade across my neck
letting the blood flow down my chest
Why did you just walk away
Why didn't you come to me when I needed you most
Why did you just let me fall down and die
Why didn't you even cry
I was holding a knife
You saw me down on my knees
Begging for mercy
You saw me screaming WHY
looking out into the night
You saw me praying to God
asking for my life to pause
Why did you just stand there starring
Why didn't you come to my side
Why did you just stand there when I cried
Why didn't you rush to me when you saw me lift the knife
You saw me slitting my wrists
letting the damage done to me show this time
You saw me sitting there
letting the blood flow to the ground
You saw me wisper out
that I would end my life
You saw me slide the blade across my neck
letting the blood flow down my chest
Why did you just walk away
Why didn't you come to me when I needed you most
Why did you just let me fall down and die
Why didn't you even cry
