Cat Scratches

I hate to see my best friend so weak
I hate to see my best friend in agony
But I can't do anything and I won't
You blame it on the cat

I know you don't have
You say
I should've seen the other guy
But the other guy's glass

Poor little girl who doesn't understand
How she feels
But she knows too much
Poor little girl with yarn

Wrapped 'round her wrists
Her skin holds all her secrets
You ask me if you're
Sick enough yet

In their eyes you'll be sick enough
When you're dead
Mine are almost gone, yours are new and deep
Your mother can't look at you anymore

Your father doesn't know it's happening
And you make me sick
'Cause I see you
When I look in the mirror

You are me
But from a year ago
I've got better
You've only just started

Poor little girl who doesn't understand
How she feels but she knows too much
Poor little girl what happens when the yarn comes off
Her skin tells all her secrets
