He cuts her with his words of hate She has no bruises to hide Her scars are there but never show She carries them deep inside He calls her stupid, a worthless girl It's been that way for years Some nights she cries herself to sleep While drowning in her tears Her self-esteem is all but gone He's stripped her of her shame Keeping her an empty shell Her soul now broken and maim And though he's never raised his hand His abuse is easy to find She sees the world with hollow eyes As he tries to control her mind He cuts her with his words of hate She has no bruises to hide What we see is all that's left For a piece of her has died

Hidden Bruises
He cuts her with his words of hate She has no bruises to hide Her scars are there but never show She carries them deep inside He calls her stupid, a worthless girl It's been that way for years Some nights she cries herself to sleep While drowning in her tears Her self-esteem is all but gone He's stripped her of her shame Keeping her an empty shell Her soul now broken and maim And though he's never raised his hand His abuse is easy to find She sees the world with hollow eyes As he tries to control her mind He cuts her with his words of hate She has no bruises to hide What we see is all that's left For a piece of her has died
