Beneath the Skin (Acoustic)

Another day, she sets foot in this prison

Dreading what they'll say

So much to give, but no one ever listens

She dreams of running away

Crippled by the way they make her feel

She takes a look at her wrists and turns to the blade

It's not a cry for attention if she just wants to feel

Anything other than the pain

Everyone deserves to be loved

But they make her hate everything she was sure of

Every day feels likе her against the world

Now she's afraid shе'll never be enough

No one knows all the weight that she holds when she feels alone

The memories, they haunt her

No one sees all the pain she brings everywhere she goes

She feels they'll never want her

She dreams of a day when she won't have to cry herself to sleep

Staring at the scars on her wrists

She knows this is not who she wants to be

Another night, all alone with her thoughts

Dwelling on the questions that race through her head

Scared to sleep, scared to wake up and face the day

When she can't forget the things that they said

No one knows all the weight that she holds when she feels alone

(The memories, they haunt her)

No one sees all the pain she brings everywhere she goes

(She feels they'll never want her)

All she wants is someone to notice

(So sick of feeling invisible)

All she needs is someone to care

(If only they could see that she's incredible)

She dreams of a day when she won't have to cry herself to sleep

Is our generation too blind to see true beauty lies beneath the skin?

So ignorant

Are they too cold, too numb

To see the lifelong effects of the pain they inflict?

(Of the pain they inflict)

Is our generation too blind to see true beauty lies beneath the skin?

(Beneath the skin!)

No one knows all the weight that she holds when she feels alone

No one sees all the pain she brings everywhere she goes

No one knows all the weight that she holds when she feels alone

(The memories, they haunt her)

No one sees all the pain she brings everywhere she goes

(She feels they'll never want her)

All she wants is someone to notice

(So sick of feeling invisible)

All she needs is someone to care

(If only they could see that she's incredible)

She dreams of a day when she won't have to cry herself to sleep

Staring at the scars on her wrists

She knows this is not who she wants to be
