i think she wants attention

and she'd do anything to get it

she just wants someone to listen

to hear her cries for help



i think she wants to blame him

but she'd point her finger at anyone

she just wants a whipping boy

to take away her guilt



she thinks he's the reason

things turned out the way they did

she just wants him to say he's sorry

and to take away the pain



she thinks i don't notice

the cut marks on her arms

she just wants me to drop it

to stop asking so many questions



i think she doesn't mean it

or she would have already done it

she just wants to see how i'd react

to see if i really care



i think she wants to distract herself

from all of the real pain she's feeling

she just doesn't want to deal with it

to start getting over it



she thinks i don't notice

that she never smiles anymore

she just wants to be happy

and to forget about him



she thinks this is normal

everyone is doing it

she just wants to be accepted

to feel like she belongs



i think she doesn't know

she's the only one hurting her now

she just wants to take it out on herself

to make everything all better



i think she needs to do it

or stop talking about it

she just wants attention

and she'd do anything to get it
