Dm C
Just an average girl She always wore a smile
Bb F
She was cheerful and happy for a short while
A Bb
Now she's older, things are getting colder
Life's not what she thought, she wishes someone had told her
Dm C Dm
She told you she was down, you let it slip by
Bb
So from then on she kept it on the inside
F A
She told herself she was alright
Bb Bb C
But she was telling white lies Can't you tell? Look at her dull eyes
Dm C Dm
Tried to stop herself from crying almost every night
Bb F
But she knew there was no chance of feeling alright
A
summer came, all she wore was long sleeves
Bb Bb C
'cause those cuts on her wrists were bleeding through you see
Dm C Dm
She knew she was depressed, didn't want to admit it
Bb F
Didn't think she fit in, everyone seemed to miss it
A Bb
She carried on like a soldier with a battle wound,
Bb C Dm
Bleeding out from every cut her body consumed
Dm C Dm
She had no friends at school, all alone she sat
Bb F
And if someone were to notice she would blame the cat
A Bb
But those cuts on her wrist they were no mistake,
Bb C Dm
But no one cared enough to save her from this self hate
Dm C
Things were going down never really up,
Bb F
And here she is now stuck in this stupid rut
A Bb
She knew exactly what she had to do next,
Bb C Dm
Just stand on the chair and tie the rope around her neck
Dm C
She wrote a letter with her hands shaking wild,
Bb F
"Look at me now are you proud of your precious child?"
A Bb
But she knew that her parents weren't the ones to blame,
Bb C Dm
It was the world that should bow down it's head in shame
Dm C
She stood up on the chair and looked out at the moon,
Bb F
Just don't think it'll all be over soon
A Bb
The chair fell down as she took her final breath,
Bb C Dm
It's all over all gone, now she's greeting death
Dm C
Her mum walks in, she falls down to the floor,
Bb F
And now nothing can take back what she just saw
A Bb
The little girl that she raised is just hanging there,
Bb C Dm
Her body's pale and her face is violently bare,
Dm C
She sees the note and unfolds it with care,
Bb F
All she does is stare, "How can this be fair?"
A Bb
She starts reading as the tears roll down her face,
Bb C Dm
"I'm sorry Mum, but this world is just not my place,
Dm C
I've tried for so long to fix this and fit in,
Bb F
I've come to realise this world's full of sin,
A Bb
There's nothing for me here, I'm just a waste of space,
Bb C Dm
I've got no reason to stay here with this awful race,
Dm C
It's a disgrace, I was misplaced,
Bb F
Born in the wrong time and in the wrong place,
A Bb
It's ok though, 'cause you'll see me soon,
Bb C Dm
You'll know when your time has come, just look at the moon,
Dm C
As it shines bright, throughout the night,
Bb F
And remember everyone's facing their own fights,
A Bb
But i can't deal with this pain, I'm not a fighter,
Bb C Dm
You'll make it through the night, just hug your pillow tighter
Dm C
So let the world know that I died in vain,
Bb F
Because the world around me is the one to blame,
A Bb
And I know in a year you'll forget I'm gone,
Bb C Dm
'Cause I'm not really something to be dwelled on,
Dm C
That's what they used to tell me, all those kids at school,
Bb F
So I'm going by the law majority rules,
A Bb
My presence on this earth is not needed any longer,
Bb C Dm
And if anything I hope this makes you stronger,
Dm C
You're the best friend that I ever had,
Bb F
Such a shame I had to make you so very sad,
A Bb
Just remember that you meant everything to me,
Bb C Dm
And to my heart, you're the only one that held the key,
Dm C
Now it's time to go I'm running out of space to write,
Bb F
And yes I lost my fight, but please just hold on tight
A Bb
I'm watching over you from the clouds above,
Bb C Dm
And sending down the purest and whitest dove,
Dm C
To watch over you and be my helpful eye,
Bb F
So this is it world...Goodbye!"
