I have had enough of all the lies, why cant people see
That inside I'm still that little girl, who wishes she was free
I still remember what you used to do, did you think I wouldn’t care?
Hitting me when I was down, did you really think that was fair?
Its not easy to forget the things you used to do,
I hope you know now, im not afraid of you.
Why did you do it, you knew I wouldnt fight,
Look what you have left me, I still cry each night
I think of you and it makes me mad,
What gave you the right to treat me so bad?
I look at the photos and pretend none of this is true
We all look happy, but look at us now, its all down to you.
You have messed up my mind, you have ruined my life,
Even now I still get scared when I see a knife.
I have talked to the councellors, i have talked so much
But ive lied and ive lied, and its getting too tough
Who am I protecting? Who am I lying for?
What were you thinking as you saw me bleeding on the floor?
Did you think that sorry would make it all alright?
Did you think I could forget what used to happen at night?
Have you ever noticed there are no photos of us holding hands?
Did you think I was too young to understand?
That hand would be friendly, then beat me balck and blue,
Do you think I didn't realise that hand belonged to you?
You used to tell mum I needed to be taught,
You said I wasn’t thankful for all that you had brought
Was I really that bad, as to make you do what you did?
Was it really any wonder that I ran away and hid?
They say we lead by example, and I hope it isnt true
For my worst fear in the world, would be to turn out like you!
