We Keep Marching On

You're stronger than you could ever think

But you believe it's all because of me

You can't see your beauty and your strength

So you give all the credit away

Because each day,

We paint a picture on our wrists in red

We lie awake at night with thoughts of death in our head

And we cry each time with every tally that we add

And instead of counting sheeps, we count the scars that we have

We've got bracelets on our arms, and long sleeves pulled down

We'll plaster fake smiles on our mouths if anyone notices our frown

We're tired, but we hide our yawn

Our hearts might be broken but...

We keep marching on, we keep marching on, we keep marching on

You sit alone, because you pushed away your friends

You didn't want them to be in pain, when your life ends

You wish somebody would see the scars along your wrist

But you get scared, so you move the cuts to your hips

Because each day,

We paint a picture on our wrists in red

We lie awake at night with thoughts of death in our head

And we cry each time with every tally that we add

And instead of counting sheeps, we count the scars that we have

We've got bracelets on our arms, and long sleeves pulled down

We'll plaster fake smiles on our mouths if anyone notices our frown

We're tired, but we hide our yawn

Our hearts might be broken but...

We keep marching on, we keep marching on, we keep marching on

Oh, can't you see that you are perfect

That mirrors so twisted, telling you that your not worth it

You see the world in a dimmer light

You find your flaws, you list them out before you fall asleep every night

Oh, you shake, and you scream

You get scared, and you cry

You panick, but you're stuck in your own mind

You would trade your soul, just for death to claim you

You say that you'd do anything, for us to stop caring about you

Oh, you've been through hell on this earth, and faced it with a smile

You've been saying that you're fine, lying to yourself for quite a while

You've got bruises on your body, and even more on your soul

Bullied and beaten every night, but you won't let go

No, you never let go

Honey, every word you say simply astounds me

We both know you've been through some tough times

But I promise I won't leave

I know it's hard to not give in, the pain always wants to stay

But keep marching, we know you can do it

You're getting stronger every day
