Never change yourslef because others don't accept who you are

Don’t try and convince me that blood won’t wash away my every trouble like the rain
And it’s sad when we have to use pain to dull the pain
I carve your name into my skin like a prayer for a gravestone
So that you’ll always be with me, I’ll never be alone
But even the deepest scars will fade, like the meaning in these lines
But Darling will you stay a little longer this time?
