I Wish You Understood by Julee Cote I wish somehow I could tell you Make you understand Just why I have to do this Inflicting pain by my own hand It's this relief in which I get A feeling I can't comprehend And oh how I wish you could open your mind For once in your life defy the rules and bend I hate how they say things Look me up and down It's really not my fault That my face is permanently a frown I just pray someone would help me And take the time to care Instead of judging everything Including what I wear I know the scars they scare you And I know they always will Just listen to what I say And understand that cutting is something I must do Cutting takes away my pain Takes away my fears And I know that this sounds crazy But it replaces all my tears
