Can’t you hear my silent scream?
I promised I wouldn’t cut too deep
I can’t stand to hear you cry
So I gave it up once and for all
I look at the blade
But I just turn away
Have you ever been so proud of me?
Yet I Can’t help to still feel

How can I be in this much pain?
Because of you I won’t look at my vain
You say that you don’t understand
Why I could feel this with my heart in your hand
