She's only 17, 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 let's 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
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 it's going since you've 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 you, 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 you won't cut

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

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 when 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

She ducked the next class, ran home into the bathroom

Thought to herself she wouldn't break her promise that soon
One cut... two cuts... three cuts... four

The blood just started dripping from the tub to the floor

Her boyfriend had a feeling in his stomach that he hated

He followed it right 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

Nobody seems to get you, 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 you won't cut

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

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

Yelling out her name as he lays her beside the bathtub

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 onto this

Her eyeballs are rolling, drifting out of consciousness

Thinking to himself why the hell did she just stop at will

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

Paramedics rush her in, the 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 you, 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 you won't cut

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
