For A Moment - Acoustic

She keeps it all inside
She's scared of what the people all around of her would say
So, she just stands and passes time
She's treading on the line between nervous and afraid

So, she draws lines on her skin
And they're not just pencilled in
But the sweet, oh sweet, ecstatic relief
It lasts, it only lasts
For a moment

She, she tells me it's ok
That they all fade away within a month, a week, or days
So, I try to understand
How this shattered world could all be part of a great plan

So, she draws lines on her skin
Just to feel something, anything
But the sweet, oh sweet, ecstatic relief
It lasts, it only lasts
For a moment

Broken tissue on pages
You've been fighting this for ages
Oh, but once the scars have faded
You'll be glad you saved them
Red lines flash before your eyes
And each time a little piece of you dies
But it's not time, to say goodbye

So, I try and trace these lines
Reminders of a broken life
In the hope that you won't feel that blade
When it's over
Oh, it'll be over
For more than a moment
