"I want to be remembered as the girl who always smiled the one who could brighten up your day, even if she couldn't brighten her own."

I can keep your secrets
I can try and hide your cigarettes
But I'll never be able
To hide every sharp object


The worlds not as cold as you think
And you're not as alone as you feel
The first cuts never the deepest
But some wounds they never heal


You don't have to bleed to feel alive
You're hurting on the inside, why scar the outside?
I know you're scared but your scaring me this time


I don't understand how someone with the loudest laugh
Can feel the way you do
When you smile it means the world
But I can see right through


You don't have to bleed to feel alive
You're hurting on the inside, why scar the outside?
I know you're scared but your scaring me this time


It's not your fault
Don't blame it on yourself
It's never been your fault
Now you're just hurting everyone else


You don't have to bleed to feel alive
You're hurting on the inside, why scar the outside?
I know you're scared but your scaring me this time


You don't have to bleed to feel alive
Your hurting on the inside why scar the outside
I know you're scared but your scaring me this time.






These lyrics, for some reason, really got to me when I first saw them and when I first heard the song. The song is called Sharp Objects by an Australian girl called Alex Robotham and it's just beautiful. These are the type of songs that need writing and being sung to the world - not just to the singer/songwriter's who listen to them. It's funny how she describes the person as having the "loudest laugh" and a smile that "means the world"; sadness and anxiety can often be disguised in the shape of laughter and a painted smile.
