Dare me to die
Go ahead and do it
I dare you
Tell me that I am nothing
Tell me that I do not belong
Go ahead and swear it
But if you think your words mean nothing
Honey, you’re so wrong
The girl behind the constant smile
The girl with the common laugh
Is nothing but a made up, put on
Acted out mask
And the truth is that she feels every little thing
Whether she wants to or not
And it’s a lie to say she doesn’t cry - a lot
The tears are never seen
The pain is never outspoken
She hides it deep within her
A messed up, scarred and buried token
There are things she’s thought of doing
But never had the courage
To take a razor to her skin
Or maybe just end it all right then
The thing is that while she’s hurting
There’s something she always knows
That someone’s watching over her
Bearing her scars in willing rows
Keeping her from the worst of it
Forgiving her in the end
And while your words can cut, deeper than a knife
There’s someone saving her from her strife
So go ahead
And dare me to die
But while your wallowing in pain of your own
There’s someone saving me from mine
And He withstood more than either of us could.
