YOU DON'T KNOW IT BUT YOU SAVED MY LIFE

YOU DON'T KNOW IT BUT YOU SAVED MY LIFE

Running to the bathroom with tears in my eyes

This is it for me, now I'm ready to die

In one hand I have a sharp knife

I have decided to take my own life

I'm tired of being so fat and ugly

I'm tired of never having a girl to love me

I'm tired of all of the laughing and the jokes

I'm done with it all, I have no hope

Someone told me I should shoot myself in the head

But I'll just slit my wrists and bleed to death instead

I'm sick and tired of always feeling such pain

With rage inside that I can't explain

I have to make the cuts nice and deep

And watch the blood until I fall asleep

A deep sleep that I'll never awake from

Because I never felt love from no one

But I was interrupted and had to answer the phone

There was no one here and I was home alone

And your voice was there on the other line

You saved my life in the nick of time

If you never called, I would have returned to the earth

You listened to me and told me I had some worth

You opened me up to a world that I never knew

I'm still alive today and I have to thank you

You took me to places I thought I'd never see

You never laughed when I told you what I wanted to be

You encouraged my love of Metal and Norse Mythology

You never said that it was wrong to just be me

Thank you for the books, thank you for the talks

Thank you for the discussions and the long walks

Thank you for always encouraging me to write

Thank you so much for saving my life.
