[00:00.23]This is the song I'm too scared to write
[00:05.77]But some of you may need it tonight
[00:10.60]
[00:11.92]Oh there you were, heart made of glass
[00:14.77]Fragile little thing, shattered too fast
[00:17.68]Tried to pick the pieces up, up, up
[00:20.53]And that's the way you first got cut, cut, cut
[00:23.23]Devil drew you in, you didn't let it show
[00:26.09]Didn't want the others to ever have to know
[00:29.31]That you were getting hooked on up, up, up
[00:32.14]And all you had to do was cut, cut, cut
[00:33.35]
[00:35.03]You carved a special place for your pain
[00:39.95]So it came back to hurt you every night
[00:46.98]You closed your eyes and wished it all away
[00:51.98]Until you disappeared under the knife
[00:56.24]
[00:57.15]You knew the deal, no one gives a damn
[00:59.83]Just another needy kid, sob story in hand
[01:02.57]Keep your secrets covered up, up, up
[01:05.71]We don't need another cut, cut, cut
[01:08.45]But you couldn't hide, a heart made of glass
[01:11.46]You put yourself together with all the strength you had
[01:14.57]You were finally fed up, up, up
[01:17.49]Finally had to scream enough-nough-nough
[01:20.01]
[01:20.50]You carved a special place for your pain
[01:26.17]So it came back to hurt you every night
[01:32.43]You closed your eyes and wished it all away
[01:37.76]Until you disappeared under the knife
[01:41.40]
[01:46.81]Listen, I know it's simplified from the other side
[01:49.77]It's easy to gloss over all the messy reasons why
[01:53.06]And it's easy to forget where you've been
[01:55.73]I guess that's what the scars are for, huh?
[01:58.46]When we were fifteen we wouldn't dare let that **** be seen
[02:01.95]But now it seems mutilation's gone mainstream
[02:04.95]I see you at my shows, scarred up from head to toe
[02:07.77]Like there's no point even trying not to let it show
[02:10.65]Cause we all know, emo kids like to hurt themselves
[02:13.66]Too many feelings, and not enough self control
[02:16.00]And I mean does this mess with any of the rest of ya?
[02:19.54]It's an epidemic and we're cool with it don't question it
[02:22.08]But it bothers me, our scars are currency by which we're measured
[02:24.80]Like let the record show who let it slip and who held it together
[02:27.75]Cutters and burners and honorable mentions
[02:30.82]Posers who still cut themselves up for the attention
[02:33.62]I don't care your intentions, I just want you to know
[02:36.34]My self-hatred never took me where I wanted to go
[02:39.43]At the end of the day, you know I still had to face
[02:42.51]That I can pick at the pain, but I can't cut it away
[02:45.09]And you know what else I can't do, is give you ten good reasons not to
[02:48.52]I've racked my brain for clever sayings of all the things you ought to do
[02:51.74]But you know I think if there was something I could say
[02:54.31]They'd have thrown it on a brochure and sent you on your way
[02:55.85]
[02:57.31]So I'll keep doing what I always do
[02:59.90]Drag my heart to the piano and make it sing for you
[03:02.97]I'll keep doing what I always do
[03:05.83]Drag my heart to the piano and let it sing for you...
[03:11.02]
[03:29.27]Drag my heart to the piano and let it sing for you
[03:33.41]
