| Simple Regret By Lee Ann Shorter I run my fingers over these scars I remember why they're there A part of my life I wish was gone The part when I was scared No one was there to comfort me To tell me I'd be fine No one was there to stop those tears So I made the crimson lines I thought it would ease the pain But it only brought me more My friends would yell at me Asking "What'd you do this for?" When I didn't have the answers I knew that it was time To give this simple pleasure up No longer is it mine It used to be my drug Running the blade across my skin Creating a beautiful gash Of streaming liquid crimson Betrayal was my friend But she quickly became my enemy She made me hurt, made me cry She never set me free As you keep on cutting More peices of you die You lose your loved ones They leave you there to cry Its not because they want to Its because you wouldn't stop To see those scars upon your skin It makes their hearts just drop They want you to be healthy They wish that you would see You don't have to cut yourself In order to be free The memories will last The regret will haunt your soul Those things can break you You won't again feel whole You never forget Simple regret... |
