Beneath The Skin

Intro: Am

Am                   C                    F                     G
Another day she sets foot in this prison, dreading what they'll say.
Am                      C
So much to give, but no one ever listens.
F                     G
She dreams of running away.
Am                       C                          F                    G
Crippled by the way they make her feel, she takes a look at her wrists & turns to the blade.
Am                   C                            F               G
It's not a cry for attention if she just wants to feel anything other than the pain.
Am          C                 F                       G
Everyone deserves to be loved, but they make her hate everything she was sure of!
Am                   C
Every day feels like her against the world.
F            G
Now she's afraid she'll never be enough.

Am                   C                              F
No one knows all the weight that she holds when she feels alone.
        G
The memories, they haunt her.
Am                  C                    F
No one sees all the pain she brings everywhere she goes.
                  G
She feels they'll never want her.

Am              C                          F              G
She dreams of a day when she won't have to cry herself to sleep.
Am             C                       F                         G
Staring at the scars on her wrists she knows this is not who she wants to be.
Am                 C                       F                              G
Another night all alone with her thoughts, dwelling on the questions that race through her head.
Am                         C                           F                    G
Scared to sleep, scared to wake up & face the day when she can't forget the things that they 
said.

She feels they'll never want her.

Am        C                 F                  G
All she wants is someone to notice; so sick of feeling invisible.
Am      C                   F
All she needs is someone to care.
                   G
If only they could see that she's incredible.

Am
Is our generation too blind to see true beauty lies beneath the skin?
               Am
So ignorant!
Am                     C                          F                         G
Are they too cold, too numb to see the lifelong effects of the pain they inflict?
