Your words cut me like a jagged blade How can the things you say cause so much pain You've broken me down and made me feel shame I'm picking up the pieces as you take them apart But how much longer can I keep this up There's just one thing I want you to tell me Why are you doing this to me? ......
If I say it's okay Will it make it right? Will it go away? Will it not haunt me at night? If I say it's not okay I don't think I could handle it This denial inside me is keeping me alive If it goes away, where can I hide?
I remember everything.. I remember how young I was I remember how innocent I remember his hands I remember what it felt like I remember what I was wearing I remember crying I remember feeling wrong I remember feeling scared I remember things I wish I could forget It haunts my days Keeps me awake at night Why can't I just forget? What did I do wrong?
What can I possibly do to make you understand That it would be so much worse If everybody knew I made my peace and cut all ties Now it's your turn I beg you, please, just let it go.
As I stare into the mirror I wish the face staring back at me Wasn't mine... As I look at pictures The face that's supposed to be me Makes me cry... Why can't I see beauty? Why can't I see happiness?
