    Verse 1
    She 
    was 
    crazy 

    (she was 
    beautiful), 

    guess she 
    had 
    to 
    be. 

    was 
    angry 
    (you were 
    blind), 

    Because 
    could 
    not 
    see. 

    I saw 
    only 
    what 
    her cigarettes 

    had 
    done 
    to 
    her skin. 

    I should 
    have 
    known 
    the 
    outside 
    world 

    Would 
    re
    veal 
    what 
    was 
    with
    in. 

    She 
    was 
    burning 
    herself, 

    And 
    her 
    hair 
    was 
    filled 
    with 
    ashes. 

    She 
    was 
    burning 
    herself, 

    And 
    her 
    life 
    becomes 
    a flame. 

    She 
    was 
    burning 
    herself, 

    And 
    the 
    flame 
    became 
    her passion. 

    She 
    was 
    burning 
    her
    self, 

    And 
    her 
    passion, 

    Her passion 
    was 
    her 
    pain. 

    She 
    was 
    trusting 
    (you could 

    have saved 
    her 
    too), 

    All 
    hope 
    had passed 
    for 
    her. 

    was 
    lusting 
    (and she 
    gave to 
    you), 

    That's 
    all 
    asked 
    for 
    her. 

    The mark
    upon 
    her 
    body 

    And 
    the mark
    upon 
    her 
    mind. 

    could 
    have 
    erased 
    them 

    If 
    I'd 
    only 
    taken 
    the 
    time. 



    never 
    saw 
    her 
    do 
    it, 

    only 
    saw 
    the scars. 

    I never 
    could 
    imagine 

    What 
    would make 
    her 
    go 
    that 
    far. 

    wondered, 

    Was 
    she 
    driven 
    by 
    desperate 

    need 
    to 
    feel, 

    To find 
    out 
    she 
    was 
    living, 

    To 
    discover 
    life 
    was 
    real. 

    Or 
    was 
    it 
    that 
    the 
    pain 

    Slicing 
    through 
    her 
    like 
    a knife 

    Was 
    easier 
    to 
    take 

    Than 
    the 
    emptiness 
    of 
    life? 

    Had 
    a strange 
    sense 
    of 
    drama 

    Caught 
    her 
    in 
    a role, 

    Or 
    was 
    she 
    trying 
    to cauterize 

    The 
    chancres on 
    her 
    sole? 

    don't 
    know 

    don't 
    know 

    Outro 1
    don't 
    know

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
