I was just lying in bed listening to my iPod when this song came on. I had to listen to it carefully three times. This song perfectly summates how I felt when I cut. It's how I still feel at times. It might not be like that for others but it's just me I guess.

For people who are only starting down this road. Listen to this. Read the lyrics. See what cutting can do to a person. It nearly killed me. On many occasions. Please download this song and listen to it. This is how I felt at my lowest point.

For those who are still cutting on a regular basis. Take this song for what it is. This is exactly my feelings. I could have written it myself. But know, that no matter how bad it gets, if you feel like the way I was and how the song illustrates, know you can beat it. I felt like that for over a year, nearly two, and now I'm seventy three days cut free. See this is a sign of hope. A flicker of light.

LYRICS

"Addicted"

It's like you're a drug
It's like you're a demon I can't face down
It's like I'm stuck
It's like I'm running from you all the time
And I know I let you have all the power
It's like the only company I seek is misery all around
It's like you're a leech
Sucking the life from me
It's like I can't breathe
Without you inside of me
And I know I let you have all the power
And I realize I'm never gonna quit you over time

It's like I can't breathe
It's like I can't see anything
Nothing but you
I'm addicted to you
It's like I can't think
Without you interrupting me
In my thoughts
In my dreams
You've taken over me
It's like I'm not me
It's like I'm not me

It's like I'm lost
It's like I'm giving up slowly
It's like you're a ghost that's haunting me
Leave me alone
And I know these voices in my head
Are mine alone
And I know I'll never change my ways
If I don't give you up now

It's like I can't breathe
It's like I can't see anything
Nothing but you
I'm addicted to you
It's like I can't think
Without you interrupting me
In my thoughts
In my dreams
You've taken over me
It's like I'm not me
It's like I'm not me

I'm hooked on you
I need a fix
I can't take it
Just one more hit
I promise I can deal with it
I'll handle it, quit it
Just one more time
Then that's it
Just a little bit more to get me through this
I'm hooked on you
I need a fix
I can't take it
Just one more hit
I promise I can deal with it
I'll handle it, quit it
Just one more time
Then that's it
Just a little bit more to get me through this

It's like I can't breathe
It's like I can't see anything
Nothing but you
I'm addicted to you
It's like I can't think
Without you interrupting me
In my thoughts
In my dreams
You've taken over me
It's like I'm not me
Its like i'm not me

I used to love this song as a kid, i've always had a thing for Kelly Clarkson songs since I was little because i could realate to 'Because Of You' so well.
but yeah, your right. it describes it really well.
