Curious
Courtney Parker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
she was cheerful and happy for a short while
now she's older, things are getting cloder.
life's not what she thought she wish someone had told her.
she told you she was down, you let it slip by.
so from there on she kept it on the inside, she told herself she wuz alright but she was telling white lies, cant yuu tell? look at her dull eyes.
tried to stop herself from crying almost every night
but she knew there wuz no chance of feeling alright.
kuz those cuts on her wrist were bleeding thru, you see.
she knew she was depressed didnt want to admit it, didnt think she'd fit in, everyone seemed to miss it.
she carried on like a soilder with a battle wound.
bleeding out from every cutt her body consumed.
she had no friends at school, all alone she sat and if someone where to notice she would balme the cat. but those cuts on her wrist they were no mistake
but no one cared enough to scve her from this self pain.
things where going down. never really up and here she is now stuck in this stupid world.
she knew exactly what she had to do next.
just stand on the chair and tie the rope around her neck.
she wrote a letter with her hand shaking wild. look at me now are you proud of your precious child?
but she knew that her parents weren't the ones to blame
it was a world that yuu've falled down and just had to change
she stood up on da chair and looked up at the moon, just to think... it will all be over soon
the chair fell down as she took her final breath, its all over. all gone. now she's greeding death.
her mom walks and she falls down to the floor and now nothing can take back what she just saw
the little girl that she raises just hanging there.
her body's pale and her face is violently bare
she see's the note and unfolds it with care all she does is stare, how can this be fair
she starts reading as her tears roll down her face.
im sorry mom but this world is just not my place, i tried for so long to fix this and fit in.
