Baby don't cut
[00:21.06] She's only 17, her whole life's ahead of her.
[00:21.78] She hates school because the people there discredit her.
[00:00.00] Her boyfriend tries to show her that's not how it seems.
[00:00.00] But every day she just gets lowered with her self-esteem.
[00:00.00] He lets her know that every night will have a brighter day,
[00:00.00] She even tried to overdose and take her life away.
[00:00.00] She's feeling hopeless there just sitting down beside her bed,
[00:00.00] And then he takes his hand and places it beside her head.
[00:00.00] He tries to hold her but with every touch she still resists,
[00:00.00] And then he sees the scars that bury deep within her wrists,
[00:00.00] She's feeling numb, he tries to beg and plead and ask her, "Why?"
[00:00.00] She says this way she has control of pain she feels inside.
[00:00.00] He's asking her, "How long it's going since you've felt this way?
[00:00.00] Because you got me here, just feeling so damn helpless."
[00:00.00] She says, "It's been a while. I guess I needed better luck."
[00:00.00] And then he screams at her and tells her, "Baby, never cut!"
[00:00.00] Nobody seems to get you, you feel you're on your own,
[00:00.00] But listen, pretty lady, you don't have to be alone.
[00:00.00] So, baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut.
[00:00.00] You can do anything, just promise, baby, you won't cut.
[00:00.00] I know your heart is hurting, you think the road has end,
[00:00.00] You may just feel that blade you're holding is your only friend.
[00:00.00] But, baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut.
[00:00.00] You can do anything, just promise, baby, you won't cut.
[00:00.00] The next day at school she's feeling better than the day before.
[00:00.00] Even cracked a couple smiles as she walked the corridor.
[00:00.00] But all that seemed to end: she dropped her books when she walked into class.
[00:00.00] And every student in the room just seemed to point and laugh.
[00:00.00] She couldn't take it anymore, she sent her boy a text.
[00:00.00] She said, "I love you with my body, heart and soul to death."
[00:00.00] He thought nothing, typed, "I love you", then he sent it.
[00:00.00] By "death" he didn't know that she had literally just meant it.
[00:00.00] She ducked the next class, ran home into her bathroom.
[00:00.00] Thought to herself she wouldn't break her promise that soon.
[00:00.00] One cut, two cuts, three cuts, four
[00:00.00] The blood just started dripping from the tub to the floor.
[00:00.00] Her boyfriend had a feeling in his stomach that he hated.
[00:00.00] He followed it right down to her house he never waited.
[00:00.00] The front door was open, he heard the water running.
[00:00.00] He stormed into the bathroom and his heart just started gunning
[00:00.00] Nobody seems to get you, you feel you're on your own,
[00:00.00] But listen, pretty lady, you don't have to be alone.
[00:00.00] So, baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut.
[00:00.00] You can do anything, just promise, baby, you won't cut.
[00:00.00] I know your heart is hurting, you think the road has end,
[00:00.00] You may just feel that blade you're holding is your only friend.
[00:00.00] Baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut.
[00:00.00] You can do anything, just promise, baby, you won't cut.
[00:00.00] He puts her arm around his shoulder, he's tryna lean her back up.
[00:00.00] Yelling out her name as he lays her beside the bathtub.
[00:00.00] Feels his whole world just took a hit from a big avalanche.
[00:00.00] Screaming out so heavily, "Somebody call an ambulance!"
[00:00.00] Feeling mad angry like somebody's led her onto this.
[00:00.00] Her eyeballs are rolling, drifting out of consciousness.
[00:00.00] Thinking to himself why the hell didn't she stop at will.
[00:00.00] The tears just keep on rolling as they head to the hospital.
[00:00.00] Paramedics rush her in, doctor calls emergency.
[00:00.00] She's lost a lot of blood the place looks like a murder scene,
[00:00.00] An hour later, the doc walks over with a sour face,
[00:00.00] And says, "Excuse me for the words that I'm about to say.
[00:00.00] I'm sorry for your loss," the boy just starts collapsing.
[00:00.00] His own world, his own girl just took a crashing.
[00:00.00] Saying to himself that it's his fault and that he let it up.
[00:00.00] "Baby, I thought you made a promise you would never cut."
[00:00.00] Nobody seems to get you, you feel you're on your own,
[00:00.00] But listen, pretty lady, you don't have to be alone.
[00:00.00] So, baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut.
[00:00.00] You can do anything, just promise baby you won't cut.
[00:00.00] I know your heart is hurting, you think the road has end,
[00:00.00] You may just feel that blade you're holding is your only friend.
[00:00.00] But, baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut.
[00:00.00] You can do anything, just promise, baby, you won't cut.
