I want to cry but the tears won't come
I want to scream till my body is numb
I want the pain to go away
And though I fight, it fights to stay
I want to run away and hide
The pain you caused it burns inside
And though my heart still beats for you
Can I trust your words? Are they false or true?
You tore into me like the tip of a knife
And bit-by-bit you gave me new life
You never truly understood
What you took from me was my whole childhood
I thought I was ready to become a woman
When you told me you loved me and took my hand
Now that’s all gone those innocent fears
They’ve been replaced with exhausted tears
