Hey! this is me playing a cover of "To Write Love On Her Arms" by Hawthorn Heights, otherwise knows as "The Way She Feels" by between the trees.
To Write Love On Her Arms (TWLOHA) is actually a non-profit movement dedicated to treatment of depression. It is estimated that around 17 MILLION americans suffer from depression, and 2/3 are left untreated. Untreated depression is the #1 cause of suicide and suicide is the third leading cause of death in young people today. It's estimated that someone dies from suicide every 18 minutes, and someoen attempts one every 43 second. But depression is treatable, and people can overcome it! People who turn to drinking or drugs, or self-harm because of depression can get help, no matter how far gone they are! That is what this movement is about, and i'm posting this trying to raise awareness for it! This song and organization really means a lot to me personally. If you want to check them out, visit www.twloha.com at the bottom of the screen click the button that says "ENTER TWLOHA.COM" and that is thier main website, they also sell t-shirts and stuff. You can read more on their story and how it got started there.
Anyways, here it is and i hope you really enjoy the cover, I messed up a time or two but I think i did pretty well.

***Lyrics***
She's upset, Bad day,
Heads for the dresser drawer to drive the pain away,
Nothing good can come of this,
She opens it, there's nothing,
There is only leftover tears,
Mom and Dad have no right she screams!
Anger runs down both of her cheeks!
Then she closed her eyes,
Found relief in a knife,
With both eyes closed she cries.
All alone the way she feels,
Left alone to deal with,
All the pain drenched sorrowed relief,
Bite the lip just forget the bleeding!
And then she closed her eyes,
Found relief in a knife,
With both closed eyes she cries.
Whoa, oh!
Then she closed her eyes,
Found relief in a knife,
With both closed eyes she cries.
Curled up she's on the floor,
Relief left her she had,
Hoped for something more from it,
Hoped for something more from it.
And he leans down to comfort her,
She is weeping as he,
Wraps his arms around,
And around and around and;
The deeper you cut,
The deeper I hurt,
The deeper you cut,
It only gets worse!
The deeper you cut,
The deeper I hurt,
The deeper you cut,
It only gets worse!
Gets worse!
Is she slowly opening?
Is she slowly opening,
New eyes?
And then she opened her eyes,
Found relief in his life,
And put down her knife!
Whoa, oh!
Then she opened her life,
Found relief through his eyes,
And put down,
She put down her knife!!!

@TheCourtneycool You aren't horrible. :) Your human just like the rest of us. Everyone has flaws, and everyone has something that makes them special. Even if that person can't see it themselves.
