I Only Watched Her
Watch your life slowly burn
The life you never asked to live
Every move you make is another mistake
The world hates you
And you still have to battle the demons within
No superman to save you this time
He's gone and never coming back
You shared how you felt but no one cared
The day you closed up to never open again
Still hoping to make the best of things
Striving to be the perfect child
The one that they always wanted
Perfect grades and never misbehaved
Following orders like a soldier
The more they pushed
The harder you fell over
No one cared just walked all over you
Complaining about how little you've done
Trying to stay holy but it's not going well
See you're not the type to pray at night
Or thank God for the small things
Instead you only question him
And the gifts he supposedly brings
Your mother takes her anger out on all of the others
While your father cares but not enough
This life of yours is pretty rough
Your only friends are online
And you still lose them all the time
Plus the love of your life is gone
Never to be heard from again
The first time I saw you cry
I could understand why
Because with a life like this
The scars on you wrist
It didn't have to end like this
The life you never asked to live
Every move you make is another mistake
The world hates you
And you still have to battle the demons within
No superman to save you this time
He's gone and never coming back
You shared how you felt but no one cared
The day you closed up to never open again
Still hoping to make the best of things
Striving to be the perfect child
The one that they always wanted
Perfect grades and never misbehaved
Following orders like a soldier
The more they pushed
The harder you fell over
No one cared just walked all over you
Complaining about how little you've done
Trying to stay holy but it's not going well
See you're not the type to pray at night
Or thank God for the small things
Instead you only question him
And the gifts he supposedly brings
Your mother takes her anger out on all of the others
While your father cares but not enough
This life of yours is pretty rough
Your only friends are online
And you still lose them all the time
Plus the love of your life is gone
Never to be heard from again
The first time I saw you cry
I could understand why
Because with a life like this
The scars on you wrist
It didn't have to end like this
