Song Description

True story from personal experience with domestic abuse of a loved one.

Lyrics

(v) I watched you suffer
almost every single day.
No sense in screaming
they don't hear you anyway.
You're bruised and bandaged.
Your makeup hides your pain.
And all this time you
figure you're the one to blame.


(pc) I hold your hands in mine as you shake.
I see your bones each time they break.
I bleed with every wound that I mend.
I pray each night for this to end.


(c) And what did you do to deserve this life.
I feel all your screams pierce my ears at night.
God spare her life. Let things turn out fine.
But if that's the plan trade her life for mine.


(v) Your face is swollen.
Your eyes are filled with fear.
You asked me softly
to pull you near to me.
I'm scared to touch you.
I can't see all of your marks.
How can't you see that
this is tearing you apart.
(pc) You'd open your eyes if they weren't swollen shut.
Each day I wake up hoping you've had enough.
You bring this all upon yourself
because you never let me help.


(c) And what did you do to deserve this life.
I feel all your screams pierce my ears at night.
God spare her life. Let things turn out fine.
But if that's the plan trade her life for mine.


(b) How many times do you
have to put yourself threw
all of the things you do
every day of your life.
And how many times do I
have to look in your eyes
and see that you want to cry
for help. But your to scared.


(c) And what did you do to deserve this life.
I feel all your screams pierce my ears at night.
God spare her life. Let things turn out fine.
But if that's the plan trade her life for mine
