Let Me Let You Know [Lyrics]

[VERSE 1]

Broken and bruised, her blue eyes cry,
She looks up to him, asks him why,
And down on the floor, she's on all fours,
Begging and pleading, can't take anymore.
He stands above her, hatred in his eyes,
Cursing her for seeing through his lies,
But with dust covered cheeks and a cracked heart,
She stands, she won't let him break her apart,
And she looks at him with eyes blood shot red,
Finally screams the words running in her head,
And she says:

[CHORUS]

Let me let you know that you won't break me,
Baby, you can have my heart, you can have my soul,
But let me get inside your head and let you see,
That this time it's me that's gonna take control,
You have me down on my hands and knees,
With a black eye and a bruised up broken heart,
But this time I'm not gonna go begging please,
I'm gonna make a new ending, forget about the start.

[VERSE 2]

And he looks at her with an iron clad fist,
Staring through his tears, she is the catalyst,
But his voice is shattered, he's got nothing to say,
Cursing himself as she packed her bags that day,
Breath coated in whiskey and rye,
He turned and looked her in the eye,
But she walked out the door, as she turned her head,
Whispering under her breath, she said:

[CHORUS]

Let me let you know that you won't break me,
Baby, you can have my heart, you can have my soul,
But let me get inside your head and let you see,
That this time it's me that's gonna take control,
You have me down on my hands and knees,
With a black eye and a bruised up broken heart,
But this time I'm not gonna go begging please,
I'm gonna make a new ending, forget about the start.

[VERSE 3]

And blue eyes are crying in the night,
As she stands underneath the white spotlight,
With eyes on her, the kids all sit and stare,
But she lifts her arms up solemnly in the air,
And lifting those old sunglasses, the kids gasp
As she puts her hands together in a tight clasp,
One little girl lifts her arm up high,
With tears in her eyes, she asks her why,
Her Daddy makes those same bruises on her,
And she stands strong, spreading the word,
Of abusers and all that they are out for,
And she repeats the words once more:

[CHORUS]

Let me let you know that you won't break me,
Baby, you can have my heart, you can have my soul,
But let me get inside your head and let you see,
That this time it's me that's gonna take control,
You have me down on my hands and knees,
With a black eye and a bruised up broken heart,
But this time I'm not gonna go begging please,
I'm gonna make a new ending, forget about the start.

...And standing strong she spreads the word,
To those voices of children going unheard.
