Music fills the house as tears fill her eyes,
she can't take many more of all these g'byes.
Broken promises and millions of lies,
a kiss on the cheek and one final goodbye.
She's kept it all together and stayed full of will,
but honey she's just falling even farther down that hill.
Her mother's abuse and her friends cruel words,
with no one to confide and no where to turn.
She wears the scars like the bruises on her ego,
she can't remember when it started for it was so long ago.

Years from now with a husband and kids,
they'll be playing outside and see what she hid.
The scars on her wrists the pain in her eyes,
they'll ask where it came from who caused it and why.
With no answer she'll simply brush them off,
with a broken heart for lying and remembering...
why she tried but never forgot...
