Don't cry for me

[jman197]

Don't cry for me
I am safe tonight
Don't cry for me
For I am already gone

I tried to tell them once, that I would end up like this.
I let them know years ago, that if they put me back things would go amiss.
I used to have hopes and dreams, I used to be happy.
But now for about four years, things have been crappy.
I know this sounds wrong, but I wonder?
Would it be easier, if I let myself get torn asunder.

Don't cry for me
I am safe tonight
Don't cry for me
For I am already gone

I know I wear a mask, and I know it's not Halloween.
Please don't yell at me, let's not make a scene.
I know you think you know, that you understand.
But yet you tell me what to do, you make a demand.
If you say you care, why aren't you here.
If you say you love me, why aren't you near.

Don't cry for me
I am safe tonight
Don't cry for me
For I am already gone

As I raise the knife up off my arm.
I finally find peace, in the pain of self-harm.
As I take a drink, just one more shot.
I find relief in something that makes my liver a dark blot.
As I put the cig up to my lips, taking a deep drag.
I find comfort, in something that makes my lung a black bag.

Don't cry for me 
I am safe tonight 
Don't cry for me 
For I am already gone
