• Can't you see? Don't you care
    I want to die?
    Don't you listen? Can't you hear
    My silent cry?
    Won't you turn? Can't you hold
    Me to your heart?
    Are you afraid of what might follow
    Once you start?

    Would you rather not believe
    I'm in such pain
    That all your sense and good advice
    Must be in vain?

    Would you rather tell yourself
    I'll be OK,
    And all this adolescent angst
    Will go away?

    Ah! Would I also swim across
    This lake alone!
    But if you cannot swim with me,
    I know I'll drown.
