She couldn't stand her own face
Tears weren't enough to let out her pain,
So she used a knife to cry from her arms
Who was to blame?

She discovered a way to ruin her life;
She found relief in each red stripe
All of her days and all of her nights,
She ran away from those questioning eyes
Now she has to explain
Her long sleeves in summer

Everyday she comes home
And locks her door,
And finds a reason to bleed some more
Silver and red were all she could she
Who was she bleeding for?
What does she hide?

Making excuses only got her so far;
She needed one, one for every single scar
Love poured out to stop her pain
Washed away each blood stain

She discovered a way to reclaim her life
She found relief in his red stripes
All of her days and all of her nights,
She ran away to his forgiving eyes
Now she's finally free
