Baby Don't Cut (Acoustic)

She's only seventeen, her whole life's ahead of her

She hates school because the people there discredit her

Her boyfriend tries to show her that's not how it seems

But everyday, she just gets lowered with her self-esteem

He lets her know that every night will have a brighter day

She even tried to overdose and take her life away

She's feeling hopeless there, just sitting down beside her bed

And then he takes his hand and places it beside her head

He tries to hold her, but with every touch, she still resists

And then, he sees the scars that bury deep within her wrists

She's feeling numb, he tries to beg and plead and ask her why

She says this way she has control of the pain she feels inside

He's asking her how long's it going since you felt this way

Because you got me here just feeling so damn helpless

She says it's been a while, I guess I needed better luck

And then, he screams at her and tells her, "Baby, never cut"

Nobody seems to get ya, you feel you're on your own

But listen pretty lady, you don't have to be alone

So baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut

You can do anything, just promise, baby, yeah

I know your heart is hurting, you think the road has end

You may just feel that blade you're holding is your only friend

Baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut

You can do anything, just promise, baby, you won't

The next day at school, she's feeling better than the day before

Even cracked a couple smiles as she walked the corridor

But all that seemed to end, she dropped her books and she walked into class

And every student in the room just seemed to point and laugh

She couldn't take it anymore, she sent her boy a text

She said, "I love you with my body, heart, and soul to death"

He thought nothing, typed, "I love you," then he sent it

By death, he didn't know that she had literally just meant it

See, she ducked the next class, ran home into her bathroom

Thought to herself she wouldn't break her promise that soon

Not one cuts, not two cuts, not three cuts, it's four

The blood just started dripping from the tub to the floor

See, her boyfriend had a feeling in his stomach that he hated

He followed it, ran down to her house, he never waited

The front door was open, he heard the water running

He stormed into the bathroom and his heart just started gunning

'Cause nobody seems to get ya, you feel you're on your own

But listen pretty lady, you don't have to be alone

So baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut

You can do anything, just promise, baby, yeah

I know your heart is hurting, you think the road has end

You may just feel that blade you're holding is your only friend

Baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut

You can do anything, just promise

He puts her arm around his shoulder, he's tryna lean her back up

Yelling out her name as he lays her beside the bathtub

He feels his whole world just took a hit from a big avalanche

Screaming out so heavily, "Somebody call an ambulance"

Feeling mad angry, like somebody's led her on to this

Her eyeballs are rolling, drifting out of consciousness

Thinking to himself, why the hell didn't she stop at will

The tears just keep on rolling as they head to the hospital

Paramedics rush her in, doctor calls emergency

She's lost a lot of blood, the place looks like a murder scene

An hour later, the doc walks over with a sour face

And says, "Excuse me for the words that I'm about to say

I'm sorry for your loss," the boy just starts collapsing

His own world, his own girl just took a crashing

Saying to himself that it's his fault and that he let it up

Baby, I thought you made a promise you would never cut

Nobody seems to get ya, you feel you're on your own

But listen pretty lady, you don't have to be alone

So baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut

You can do anything, just promise

I know your heart is hurting, you think the road has end

You may just feel that blade you're holding is your only friend

But baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut

You can do anything, just promise, baby, you won't cut

Please don't cut

Baby don't cut

Baby don't cut

Baby don't cut
