You, hold me up to the sun
To, block yourself
   From being burnt
Do, every-thing you can
   To, save yourself


Tired of being your whipping boy
Could barely stand before
These scars on my back weigh so much
But with a smile you keep laying them on


Try, hard to help you
I, have started drowning
   To keep you above water
Why, do you hurt me
   I, am dying


Tired of being your whipping boy
Could barely stand before
These scars on my back weigh so much
But with a smile you keep laying them on
You keep laying them on
Don't you see I'm bleeding


What, else do you want
Cut, everything that
   I held close
But, it wasn't enough
   Cut, me up


Tired of being your whipping boy
Could barely stand before
These scars on my back weigh so much
But with a smile you keep laying them on
You keep laying them on
Don't you see I'm bleeding

Cut, me up
But, it wasn't enough
Cut, all I have
What, else do you want?
