If This is What I Need to Do

I was never suicidal, but I was borderline self-harming.

I've hidden it all too well,
So of course you don't see it
If this is what I need to do,
Then so be it

The pain in my mind,
Is something you can't see
If this is what I need to do
That's how it's going to be

You don't know what I'm going through
I just couldn't ask for help
If this is what I need to do
Maybe it'll stop the stealth

I'm running out of options,
I'm running out of time
If this is what I need to do,
It'll keep me from losing my mind

Stop me before it's too late,
See me for how I am
If this is what I need to do
It would be such a sham(e)
