It takes over your life,

Pushing you into the ground,

You try to keep smiling,

The screaming makes no sound,

You try to remember when you were happy,

When there was no reason to cut,

You try to look to the future,

You seem to be stuck in this rut.

If only you could talk,

If only people would listen,

If only they wouldn't walk,

When they see the tears glisten,

If only they gave you an ear,

And tried to understand,

If only they were there,

If only they'd held your hand.

Nothing seems right anymore,

Everything seems to have changed,

If only you could tell someone,

Without feeling so ashamed,

When your alone,

Everything seems so bleak,

You try to ignore that blade,

But something inside you is just so weak.

If only you could talk,

If only people would listen,

If only they wouldn't walk,

When they see the tears glisten,

If only they gave you an ear,

And tried to understand,

If only they were there,

If only they'd held your hand.

Its seems as if your life,

Is that of someone else,

If only they'd still love you,

Try and know how you felt,

The sparkle you once held is doused,

Along with all those laughs,

Try to settle in to depression,

By hating all of your past.

If only you could talk,

If only people would listen,

If only they wouldn't walk,

When they see the tears glisten,

If only they gave you an ear,

And tried to understand,

If only they were there,

If only they'd held your hand.
