My best friend wants to kill herself, that's all I have to…
“My best friend wants to kill herself, that's all I have to say I see her mental state degrading each and every single day There's not a word that I can say to ever make her understand I made a promise to myself that I won't watch her life end I kissed her wrists and told that I'll always hold her close But then I turn around and swallow a bottle to overdose Feeling so comatose, it's the only way I'll get by And ignore all the thoughts that are screaming at me to die”
