when you're asleep next to me
your eyes flutter involuntarily
i count the scars on your arms
and on your legs and on the rest of your body
i wish you would stop hurting yourself
i wish you would stop hurting yourself
it's as if i was given my life
just so i could share it with you
i worry about you all the time
even when you tell me you're fine
i wish you would stop hurting yourself
i wish you would stop hurting yourself
because you mean so much to me
and i love you more than i've loved anybody else
but you sleep so heavily dear
and you not waking up is my biggest fear
i wish you would stop hurting yourself
i wish you would stop hurting yourself
you think it doesn't effect anyone else
but it hurts me when you hurt yourself
i wish you would stop hurting yourself
