I have never felt this type of love before
I just wanted more and more
But when she gave more she gave me hate
Something I could very much relate
She showed me things I couldn't unsee
I could suspect such treachery
When I found out she wasn't real
It gave me a cut I couldn't heal
All I could ask was why
She only would tell me if I complied
That was my mistake of my life
To take her ways of her knife
She asked if she could sing me a song
I said yes sing along
Hush little brother
Please don't cry
I wish I could be there
To sing you a lullaby
I can see your arms
Bloodied and Bruised
That's strange little brother
Mine were like that too
I know you scream
When daddy's there
Hush little brother
I know you're scared
I can see the way
He's hurting you
I'm sorry little brother
He did that to me too
I know that people
Ignore what going on at home
That gets me angry little brother
You shouldn't have to be alone
You want to now why I'm not there
Its a sad story little brother
But people should care
You see little brother
One day daddy got high
You were in your crib
So you didn't hear me cry
He screamed at me
And smashed my head against the door
While you slept little brother
I died on the floor
You know little brother
I don't think I would have died
If someone had only bothered
To listen to my cries
But hush little brother
Daddy's coming home
Quick get  into bed
You don't want him to find alone
I'm sorry little brother
He's in a bad mood
Uh oh Little brother
He's lifting his belt
Scream while you can
Call for help
Hush little brother, you don't need to cry
No one can hurt you
You're in my arms tonight
