Sometimes I have to cut myself
To let the poison out
And as the blood drips down my dress
It drains away my doubt
I don't go very deep at first
I barely break the skin
And even though it really hurts
I stick it deeper in
Cut me
Cut me
I need to bleed
You promised you would lift me up
But you didn't really care
And all your empty words of love
Were only wasted air
I know that this must seem absurd
I don't wanna end my life
But you cut me with your careless words
I'm dancing on a knife
Cut me
Cut me
I need to bleed
I'll be your black-eyed Susan
Covered in sunset bruises
Love is the only game
That everybody loses
Cut me
Cut me
I need to bleed
Cut me
Cut me
Just take a knife
And stick it in
And twist and twist and twist
