I carve a tally mark in my arm
For each time my heart falls victim to harm
I don't see why it's such a big deal
Emotional, physical, the pain is all real

I'm straining to lift myself to my own feet
Waiting for someone to come help me
That person has yet to come
Come sunshine, come rain

Some pain and I'm all good
Hell, I'd suggest you do it too
When it's a beautiful day,
But you're not in the mood
To be stood up, to be misunderstood

I carve a tally mark in my arm
For each time my heart falls victim to harm
I don't see why it's such a big deal
Emotional, physical, the pain is all real

The pain is all real
The pain is all real
And I'm feelin' it now

I carve a tally mark in my arm
For each time my heart falls victim to harm
(x2)
I don't see why its such a big deal
Emotional, physical, the pain...oh, its all real

Really really scary, the pain
I'm cuttin' cuttin' cuttin'
'Cause I'll never change

I'll stay the same, hurt and deserted
All alone with my blade at home
And I'll carve a tally mark in my arm
