What you've been waiting for

Girl sitting in her room
So afraid and alone
Razor blade in hand

One thought rushing through her head
Unable to see
There's a hope to hold on to

One swift move
Just one more
All that it takes
And it's over

Looking in the mirror
Not recognizing the face

Girl sitting in her room
Breaks down in tears
Not seeing there's a way out
From this life that she lives

Lifting the razor
Slicing her wrist
Pressing down
Harder and harder
Blood gushing out
Quenching the pain she feels inside

A pain so real
But so unseen
She keeps it hidden so well
This dirty little secret
Kept for so many years

No where to turn
But to the one and only

Girl so lost and afraid
Turn around and you will see
What has been there all along

His arms are open wide
Climb in and see
The love he will show you

Come closer forgiveness is free
Draw nearer and see

This day without pain
This day you've been waiting for
Is finally here
This day is today
