The Truth of Teenagers
My dirty little secret
I can not tell my love
For this isn't pleasant
No little snow white dove.
I'm not proud of what I do
I'll get no trophy for doing this
It's just a simple story
But the ending has a twist.
Have you ever gotten hungry?
Too hungry to even eat?
Have you ever taken a razor
And accept the forced defeat?
Has it ever gotten really bad?
And you don't eat for a day?
You want to cry out for help
but you don't know what to say?
Has it ever gotten really bad?
And you want to end your life?
Your wrist prepares itself
But you don't know how to use the knife?
Have you ever not slept for hours?
Because there's too much on your mind?
Have you ever slept for hours
Because you want to be left behind?
Did you ever test your limits?
See how long you can hold your breath?
Did you ever test your limits?
And look in the face of death?
Just be done with the world
And say goodbye.
You didn't see it coming
I never even cried.
I kept it a secret
Far too long now
So don't be surprised
When you don't see me around
