THE LYRICS:

Joshua
You’re killing yourself over this one
With cuts in your head
And a gash in your hand
I may not be bleeding
But I understand.

Joshua
I hear you scream deep in the night
As you separate the truth from the lies
But healing won’t come from
Swelling that size

Bridge:
And does she care
Well I don’t know
But if she does she won’t hurt you
It fell apart
I understand you lost all your pleasure
But you did not lose your

Chorus:
Life life life
I see you mangled up inside outside
And you got your life life life
It hurts when you hate me
But more when you hate yourself.

Joshua
Band-aids don’t cover the bleeding
The cuts will sting when the red goes away
And if it’s meant to be
She’ll come back someday

Joshua
I can’t sleep ‘till you get to bed
Find the beginning that comes from the end
I can’t give you the answers
But I can be your friend.

Repeat Bridge and Chorus
