I Bleed by Outcast Youth
I Bleed lyrics
�
She wrote to me telling me it�s help she needs,
She said that she cries every night and she�s weak,
I told her you just gotta try to breathe,
She said I can�t cope anymore�
And now I just bleed.
Why does everyone look so damn perfect,
I�m fifteen and I feel really worthless,
My skin doesn�t look so clean,
When I�ve got these freckles covering me,
I wanna look like Katy Perry,
Maybe Rihanna or Halle Berry,
Beyonce never had problems like me,
Bet she never felt so fat and ugly
I wanna be skinny but I get so hungry,
Got bad pains inside of my tummy,
There�s a guy in school that I hope might notice me,
But he never really does.
So I�m trynna get thin so he looks my way and he falls in love,
Until then I�ll just sit on the bed,
Scratching these scissors across my legs
She wrote to me telling me it�s help she needs,
She said that she cries every night and she�s weak,
I told her you just gotta try to breathe,
She said I can�t cope anymore�
And now I just bleed.
Why does everyone look so damn perfect?
I�m seventeen an I feel really nervous,
There�s a guy that I like and he might just like me back
I hope that he�ll ask me out,
I hope that he won�t even notice the scars that are drying out,
My legs are a mess and my arms look even worse,
I won�t wear a dress or short skirts,
I had a bad time these past few years,
Lost some friends and I shed some tears,
I can�t cope when things get messed up.
I try to move on but I always get stuck,
Yet again I fall into the same mistakes,
But it feels so safe and I find release,
I guess you would never understand,
The feeling that comes with a knife in your hands.
She wrote to me telling me it�s help she needs,
She said that she cries every night and she�s weak,
I told her you just gotta try to breathe,
She said I can�t cope anymore�
And now I just bleed.
Why does everyone look so damn perfect?
It�s photoshop, airbrush merges,
I�m twenty four now I feel like I�m growing,
I still hurt but the pains not showing,
I haven�t cut for a month or two,
I try deep breathing and squeezing ice cubes,
My boyfriend loves me and tells me I�m beautiful,
I�m ashamed of what I used to do,
I try everyday just to keep getting better,
To block out the thoughts but I�m under the weather,
The pressure is building, I need a release,
I�m out of my depth and I�m feeling weak,
I�m sick of this pain and I want it to end,
My oldest enemy and my only friend,
A blade in my hand and my life in front of me,
I�m stranded between relapse and recovery,
(Lie to me�
Convince me that I�ve been sick forever,
And all of this will make sense with I get better)
She wrote to me telling me it�s help she needs,
She said that she cries every night and she�s weak,
I told her "you just gotta try to breathe",
She said "I can�t cope anymore�
And now I just bleed.
And now I just bleed.
I just bleed."
