Well she won't leave this night alone
And she won´t sleep at all
And all the sorrow that she takes out on herself
It comes around and leaves her bleeding on the floor
And she knows
Yeah she knows that there's a lot of ugly things about this world
These street lights
They shine bright
As they illuminate the darkness of the pavement
They shine
As we try to write in on her arms
The love she longs to taste
And we'll find that inside
That she's a broken heart that anyone could save
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/h/helio/to_write_love_on_her_arms.html ]
Feeling worthless, self-destruction
Try to take control of this
Find a purpose, reconstruction
Write it somewhere it will stick
And stars are hiding now
But there's something out there still
And she knows
Yeah she knows that there's an awful lot of beauty in this world.
These street lights
They shine bright
As they illuminate the darkness of the pavement
They shine
As we try to write in on her arms
The love she longs to taste
And we'll find that inside
That she's a broken heart that anyone could save
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
And the stars are always there
But we miss them in the dirt and clouds
We miss them in the storms
Remember hope
Remember hope
Hold onto hope
We have hope
Hold onto hope
(It's alright) (x8)
It makes me feel better and helps me try to quit cutting

I've delt with depression and self harm. I always thought that i was worthless and that i was unwanted. I felt abused by my parents. I thought my life was terrible. But twloha has opened my eyes to other people who feel the same. I now know that some people have it a lot worse than i do. I wear the bracelet everyday to remind myself that i can stay strong. Thank you

This song is just amazing. No words can can say anything to it. This song, it's just one of those songs that no matter what mood your in-it can make you happy. Just like that.

The love mentioned in the song isnt necessarily about a relationship. It means that when she looks down, she'll see the word love. She'll know then that she is loved, whether it be in maternal, romantic, or even in a friend way. As a self harmer, this song is inspirational. No, it doesnt make the pain go away; nothing does. But it does help me believe that there is hope in the world and people that want to save you just by saying, "i love you. "

This song is so deep and beautiful. I think its about a girl whos in so much emotional pain, who feels the only way out is to harm herself.

Also, the "love" in the name means that people who cut, are depressed, or have an addiction, feel unloved in this world, and struggle to find it. Not only does it refer to relationships, but love in general.

This song is great. It has so much meaning. I am a cutter and i am trying to stop. I know i should, but it is very hard, especially at night when i get depressed. It is hard, and being an atheist, i don't believe in god. I have to try and believe in myself, or i will fall apart, or maybe even doing something i really regret.

Everyone has struggles in life.. But hope is always with you. God is always with you. He will never give up on you...

Well this box was unexpected. Okay... I don't understand necessarily why it is called to write "love" on her arms. It makes me feel like they're saying people only cut themselves over relationships. If so, i don't know... A;oihga;oil not worth the long thinking. Love life and the people in it. That is all.
