The Way She Feels Lyrics
She's upset
Bad day
Heads for the dresser drawer to
Drive her pain away
Nothing good can come of this.
She opens it there's nothing there
Its only left over tears
Mom and dad had no right she screams
The anger runs down both of her cheeks.
Then she closed her eyes
And found relief in a knife
The blood flows as she cries
All alone the way she feels
Left alone to deal with all the pain-drenched sorrow relief
Bite the lip just forget the bleeding
Then she closed her eyes
And found relief in a knife
The blood flows as she cries [x2]
Curled up she's on the floor
Relief left her she had hoped for something more
From it (hoped for something more)
From it
He leans down to comfort her
She is weeping and 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 [x2]
Gets worse.
Now she's slowly opening... [x2]
New eyes...
She opened her eyes
And found relief in his life
And put down her knives.
She opened her life
And found relief through his eyes
And put down
She put down her knife.
Bad day
Heads for the dresser drawer to
Drive her pain away
Nothing good can come of this.
She opens it there's nothing there
Its only left over tears
Mom and dad had no right she screams
The anger runs down both of her cheeks.
And found relief in a knife
The blood flows as she cries
Left alone to deal with all the pain-drenched sorrow relief
Bite the lip just forget the bleeding
And found relief in a knife
The blood flows as she cries [x2]
Relief left her she had hoped for something more
From it (hoped for something more)
From it
He leans down to comfort her
She is weeping and 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 [x2]
Gets worse.
New eyes...
And found relief in his life
And put down her knives.
And found relief through his eyes
And put down
She put down her knife.

To be honest (and most certainly not meaning to be offensive), I liked this song better before I realized that they're talking about Christ, for no reason other than the fact that I'm not religious in any way, shape, or form. Other than that, though, it's an amazing song.
I liked this song so much more before I knew the band was religious. Sorry but I like the idea of someone finding their salvation in someone real's love for them rather than in some imaginary friend.
looking at the lyrics, and the band's religion, they wrote it to mean God, if you know catholic teachings it makes sense, but then you watch the music video and it's her dad and I think that's symbolic, in the video they use the girl's dad to symbolize the "almighty father", god I was brought up catholic, I don't believe in it anymore, but this song has never gotten better or worse because of that. the message of hope and redemption is too strong to make me think any less of it because I don't believe in that religion, hope is real, love is real, and they are truly higher powers that I believe in and live by to me, love and hope wrapped their arms around her and brought on an epiphany
THIS SONG IS ASTONISHING. i cried when i heard it. because its so true... its so hard to overcome this issue. and then your left with all of the scars. but you feel better in the end. cutting is an issue yeah, a big one and no one understands, but there are people that love you and want to help you. this is like running through my life a few months ago... i listen to this song about 10 times a day..
its touching.
i just heard this song cuz i was on the twloha page thing an this is an amazing song.
so.. this son is kinda exactly like my life cept i always lose my blades, not have them taken away and i hvaent beeen 'cured' yet
but now i get to be the one who has to deal with the cutters too its ok
umm.. please dont get mad but i dont think theres anything wrong with cutting just to allieviate pain i do it heaps ma freinds do
its the best way, causes the least harm to your body, than drinking or doing drugs etc sure we know its bad, and its addictive BUT if its the only way you can cope, then why not??
anyway.. sorry for the rant oh, dont necessarily think its bout god either

There are a few ways that work better for me. Whenever you feel numb or in the need of pain, do something that "harnesses" it. Do something where being numb is good, where it helps you hide. I'll give you a few things for me. The best way to describe something like that is whatever puts you in a state of Flow (as in the book Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi) SUPER Long Name

Basically, what you're doing looks like hard work to others (or it seems to take dedication and time), but you feel happy doing it....

For me:

All of these use my in pain feelings and help me cope -- I'm too focused on what I'm doing (hard level in my game, hard origami fold, etc) to think of anything harmful
Try to find something like that, where your focus and attention makes it all numb, rather than painful
I do not know where I'd be without this song. I definitely cried the first time I heard it.
As for the religion thing, I went by the music video, not that it's her father, but that he was an actual person, cause I'm a hardcore atheist. I think of my boyfriend who is helping me through this hellhole of a life I have.
This is the song I sang to myself every night in the hospital, I was there of course for self-harm and suicide though against my will. I still want to cut so badly, but then I think about my boyfriend and I play this song. It's hard. I'm almost on my second month since the last time, I just hope I don't relapse again like I had before. But I can't promise myself, because I become a danger to myself every night.
me too. i feel you. still struggling, but there are people there for me

I can relate to this song. And the video was incredible. Cutting is an experiance I was saved from and hope to never repeat. (: I hate thow this band is put under the lable "emo" because of soome of the lyrics obviously they sngs are about hope.
"Opens it theres nothing there is only left over tears. 'Mom and dad had no right' she screams. As the anger runs down both of her cheeks." -- I always thought this meant she had a razor, but her parents found it and took it away. But then she cuts herself with a knife.
I personally thought that the 'he' was a friend rather than God.
But this is an amazing song. Very brooding, deep, with a great sense of hope. Between The Trees aren't nearly as famous as they should be.
I couldn't love this song more than i already do. I had been cutting for over a year, and no one understood me or loved me. But when i met my friend (boyfriend now) he gave me a reason to stop cutting - and a reason to want to live. He was a cutter so he understood exactly how i felt. And that's all i ever wanted. I'm putting my knives away for good this time. <3
