I just wanted to stop, make the hurt go away

to disappear, to be rid of all fear

I had tried and tried but nothing else worked

I wanted to die for this pain not to stay

and I couldn’t see any other way.

I’m sorry I left you wondering why

I’m sorry that you had to hurt and to cry

I couldn’t take it no more and

talking wouldn’t have helped

if I chose to quit, at least I chose for myself.

If I don’t want to be rescued, please don’t blame yourself.
