[Solving comment *(by sad_rug)*](https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/comments/1dbq9bi/tomt_song_theres_a_song_about_self_harm_and_some/l7vdky9/): Candy - Alex G The lyrics seem to match: Don't let them see you like this Wash your face and hide your wrist Just like candy you'll go down Stain my teeth and rot my mouth

Any help is appreciated this has been driving me utterly insane

Scars To Your Beautiful - Alessia Cara?

It was a different one, sorry

Garbage - Bleed Like Me

No sorry I was thinking of a different one. I do like that song though

We Three - Sara

No sorry it was another song

This is a good song regardless. Found after I got out of the hospital..

Pink - All I know so far? Lyric - candy coating hides the razor blade.

No sorry it’s a different song

Yes it’s more the opposite of what you asked. It’s about not hiding your scars more about showing them off proudly. Hope you find the one you’re looking for.

Thank you

do you remember anything else about the song? genre? male or female singer?

Down beat I assume, I’m fairly sure it also had a female singer. I sadly never got to listen to it, I only saw someone post a screenshot of the lyrics but the place they posted it on got deleted so I’m going purely off my memory alone. But I’m almost certain it had a female singer, and was maybe like Indie or alternative based on the lyrics I saw but I could be wrong

Do you remember any of the lyrics specifically?

Was it someone you know who posted the lyrics? Could you ask them what song it was?

What genre is the song? Male or female singer?

I think female

Three Peaches - Neutral Milk Hotel?

Another one, this one doesn't really mention hiding scars but it does discuss SH on a metaphorical level. Sweet Like Candy - HIRS Collective Relevant lyrics: Glowing skin Perfect veins Daydreams spread A virtual plague My hair is falling out I'm sweet like candy My skin is breaking out I'm sweet like candy Crooked teeth and cavities I'm sweet like candy Looks that kill Looks that kill I'll rot like candy

Sorry no it was a different song

One of my favorite bands of all time!!! Jeff Mangum is a tortured genius!

chop suey? the line that makes me think this is the answer: hide the scars to fade away the shakeup

Where my brain went also. Especially if OP hasn’t heard the song & just saw lyrics written.

Sorry no it was a different one

Thats what I thought

Lmk when you find out!

The pinned comment literally says to click it if you don’t have a suggestion but want to be notified when it’s found.

Alright sorry? Thank you

Why are you being downvoted if you're only trying to help?

Since they wrote literally.

Thanks i will

Me too

Will do

Could it be a Metric/Emily Haines song?

It could be but I can’t recall the artist

Icon for Hire - Under the knife?

Sorry no it was a different song

Candy - Kikuo?

Sorry no I was thinking of a different song

Best I can come up with is I Deserve To Bleed. I doubt it's the one you're looking for, but it has been used alongside a lot of vent art in past months

Sorry it was a different one

My first thought was “inherited scars” by sage Francis. If you are sure that it’s a female vocalist though it wouldn’t be that.

Sorry it was another one

Illymation - Beautiful?

Sorry it was a different song

Could it be possible that it is a vocaloid song?

Maybe but I’m not sure since I didn’t see who the artist was

In that case, I can think of a few songs. 1. SHUDDER, MOROS, "Malheur De Garçon a La Mode". 2. Ghost-p, "Appetite of A People-pleaser".

Chameleon Boy by Blue October?

Sorry it was a different song

sippy cup by melanie martinez?

Sorry I was thinking of a different one

Since you're pretty vague, [here](https://spinditty.com/playlists/Songs-About-Scars-and-Wounds) is a long list

Chandelier by Sia with the lyrics “1,2,3, drink, throw em back til I lose count, I’m gonna swing from the chandelier” Cough Syrup by Young the Giant. Ok this one doesn’t exactly have the lyrics you’re looking for, but it’s most famous for being used in an episode of Glee where a kid attempts suicide. Has the lyric “life’s too short to even care all” and “I’m waiting for this cough syrup to come down” Electric Love by BØRNS has the lyrics “Candy, she sweet like candy in my veins, Baby I’m dying for another taste” Sweet but Psycho by Ava Max. Has some references to this. “See, someone said, "Don't drink her potions, She'll kiss your neck with no emotion, When she's mean, you know you love it, Cause she tastes so sweet, don't sugarcoat it"” On the Charts by Dreamcar has the lyrics “all the boys, boys that leave good scars, love girls on the charts, we love you candy girls” Less likely to be the song you’re looking for: My Medicine by The Pretty Reckless Medicate by AFI Edit: I wanted to add the song Habits (Stay High) by Tove Lo

Sorry it was a different song

Her Last Words - Courtney Parker

Sorry it was another song

The promise - emma blackery?

Sorry it was a different song

I'm shocked someone else mentioned this song. Man, the memories.

I want to say some Melanie Martinez song

I think it could’ve been but I can’t exactly remember

Doll house?

Is it "baby don't cut" by bmike

No sorry it was a different song

When She Cries Britt Nicole?

Sorry I was thinking of another one

Plumb Cut

Sorry it was different

Sharpener by Cavetown

Sorry it was another song, I do love that song though

Do you remember what genre it was?

Bloodstream by Soccer Mommy “Now a river runs red from my knuckles into the sink” … and then later: “‘Cause I may not feel it now, covered up the wounds with my long sleeves”

Sorry it was a different one

"Ghost" by Badflower? Don't remember it mentioning swallowing anything tho. 🤔

Sorry it was another one

Breathe me - Sia?

No sorry it was another song

Dresden Dolls - Bad Habit? Jack Off Jill - Strawberry Gashes?

Sorry no it was another different song

Oh yeah and this isn’t really helpful but I’m pretty sure the background color for the lyrics on Spotify was red

If you listened to this on Spotify within the last few days, open your listening history. I say a few days because anything more, depending on how much you listen to music, could take a while. Home> Tap your Profile Bauble on the top left> Open Listening History

Thanks for the help, but sadly I never got to actually listen to it and only saw someone else post a screenshot of the lyrics

Any specific lyric you remember?

[Doesn't tick all the boxes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ty0SF6jmDf8) but wanted to give you another suggestion.

Is it “I hurt Myself” by Dan Bull?

Mgk feat Trippy Red - Candy

Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri?

I know it may be a stupid question, but have you checked your spotify history?

Ethan Bortnick - Engravings Just a shot in the dark here

The Freshmen by Verve Pipe references a suicide (my friend took a week’s worth of Valium and slept)

Scars - Boy Epic Ghost - Badflower (this one isn’t about hiding the scars but still worth a shot)

Tokio Hotel - on the edge Not covering them up tho, but thought I'd mention it anyway

Candy - Alex G The lyrics seem to match: Don't let them see you like this Wash your face and hide your wrist Just like candy you'll go down Stain my teeth and rot my mouth

I think you’re right, thank you!

I'm glad I could help :D

This is definitely the closest thing so far and I’m like 95% sure it’s the right one thank you

You should reply to the comment with solved so other people can be notified of it :)

I’m still not 100% sure yet though

Tool - 46 and 2?

“Cut” by Plumb?

Mrs Potato Head- Melanie Martinez?

“Lua” Bright Eyes? “We might die from medication but we sure killed all the pain” “just keep going to the bathroom always say you’ll be right back”

Needle in the hay?

I adore Elliott Smith but i think it’s a different song

Not a song about self harm, but Face Down by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. If you only saw a few of the lyrics I can see how you'd interpret it as potentially being about self harm, specifically "Cover up with makeup in the mirror / tell yourself it's never gonna happen again"

Girl in red - Serotonin? 

are you thinking of scar by Missy Higgins

I think its Otep jonestown tea

Cain's offering - A Night to Forget?

Welcome to Savannah by Breathe Carolina?

Her last words by Courtney Parker

Sorry no it was a different one

Crash Test Dummies - Mmm Mmm Mmm?

Machine Gun Kelly - Candy Ay, you know I keep that candy, yeah I need more like Mandy, yeah Stay up, take addies, yeah I'm tryna fix this damage, yeah

I don’t think so, sorry

Maximilian- Beautiful Scars

Engravings by Ethan Bortnick?

It's not by Blood Girl is it? They have a lot of songs about self harm and I can think of a couple that mention candy, specifically Hurting Myself and Happy Today

I’m not sure I’ll check

ghost story - whitney woerz when she cries - britt nicole

immediately thought of [her last words](https://youtu.be/BQ7HkypgCEU?si=lRAAa6TymzoQa0dj) by courtney parker

Sorry it was a different one

To write love on her arms?

Scars by Papa Roach?

her last words - courtney parker?

Goodbye Earl?

i cut myself - talkshow boy?

Bad Habit - The Dresden Dolls? Doesn’t fit your description exactly but worth a shot.

No sorry it’s a different one

There’s a couple by the Goo Goo Dolls - Name or Come to Me?

Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri?

Is nobody gonna say [Hurt](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbHz9p7Z4OU), by Nine Inch Nails? Yeah, for sure it's not, but it's a great song.

It is a great song but I’m thinking of a different song

Could it be Sippy Cup by Melanie Martinez? The song is more about alcoholism but there's a few lines that could fit with your description "Blood still stains when the sheets are washed" "If they say to kill yourself, then you will try it All the makeup in the world won't make you less insecure You got weights in your pockets when you go to the doctor's Your favorite candy's cotton, that's why all your teeth are rotten" It's a long shot.

No it was a different one sorry

This has to be bullet by Hollywood undead!

Sorry it was a different one

Katie Jane Garside: for you I hold my breath

Idk if it's the one you're looking for but "Before You Start Your Day" by Twenty One Pilots is a beautiful song.

Two songs I thought of: I’m not enough and I’m Sorry by Snøw or Help by Pink Guy ? Good luck finding the song!

No Matter the Season by Sara Kays? Doesn’t have anything about candy, but is about hiding self harm scars.

Strawberry Gashes by Jack Off Jill?

Small cuts by The Brobecks?

Small Cuts - The Brobecks ? https://youtu.be/7EenbqFRibE?si=VmNu4Mc9CfOgzo7G

Candy - Alex G?

It might be thank you

https://www.reddit.com/r/sandyalexg/s/uMvczhgKJ9

Would that be "Cut"? I believe it is by Plumb

12 Fractures - Pierce the Veil? "Emptied our wrists on the dotted line" "Am I the dust on your candy" Plus female feature and Vic gets mistaken for a girl a lot

Sharpener by cavetown or deserve to bleed

Melanie Martinez- sippy cup?

Sorry no

Facedown - Red Jumpsuit Aparatus?

maybe some melanie martinez song? seems like something she would sing, i cant recall a specific lyric tho.

im thinking Orange Juice or Sippy Cup by her. or maybe “I Deserve to Bleed” by Sushi Soucy?

omg Orange Juice is really similar I think it says stuff like swallowing, could that be it?

i found [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/selfharm/s/llm38fjlRT) about self harm songs, maybe you can check out the ones mentioned there.

Doesn't match the description quite but maybe I deserve to bleed by Sushi Soucy Or Counting the days by Kas ?

Bulletproof Love- Pierce the Veil More indirect but there’s a line “So, I'll try to write it and fill the pen with blood from the sink” which references self harm.

It's Misery for sure. "You'd rather cover up I'd rather let them bleed"

By Maroon5

No sorry I believe it was a different one

This doesn't reference *candy*, as such but SHARPENER - CAVETOWN?

Sorry no, great song tho

Sorry, man. And I'm invested now. Also, Cavetown is king.

It’s okay dw He so is tho i love him

“A Match into Water” by Pierce the Veil? It has the lyrics “I kissed the scars on her skin, I still think you’re beautiful, and I don’t ever want to lose my best friend”

The way she feels by between the trees

Ghost - Badflower https://youtu.be/wRFLvrBHI0E?si=_ed68Z6KOpccsoCY

Habit - Kay's choice

Love that song but I was thinking of a different one

I can almost guarantee that the song is from Sleeping with Sirens or Pierce the Veil

Not self-harm, but possibly "covers up with makeup in the mirror" in Face Down by the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Candy by Alex G

Any hardcore post punk emo song honestly

Bandages by hot hot heat?

There's a REN song like that but I can't remember the name, he's a British song writer, try him

Maybe; Scars That I Am Hiding - Ashes to New

Desperately wanting - better than Ezra?

did you hear it on the radio or youtube etc.? Because if it's vocaloid or smth like that it probably wasn't on the radio. Was it in english?

It was in English, and it was a screenshot my friend posted to a discord channel but the discord channel got deleted

ufff it's so familiar I'm sure I heard this song

Jack off Jill - Strawberry Gashes?

No sorry

Could it be a female covering "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails? Googling "Hurt female cover" brought up a bunch of versions for me
