Have You Ever

Have you ever cried so hard
that you couldn't breathe
Have you ever had someone stab you in the back
and laugh as they watch you bleed?
Have you ever loved someone so much?

But they never understood?
Have you ever been accused for being bad
When you were trying so hard to be good?
Have you ever cried a billion tears
asking God "why?"
And do you know how it feels to live each day
behind fake smiles and lies?
Have you ever had a boy take your innocence

And throw it out the door?
Living each day in fear
wondering if he'll come back for more

Have you ever had your own boyfriend

Kiss another girl right in front of your eyes?

Even though he says he loves you

With all his bullshit lies.
Have you ever had someone
Smash you against the wall?

Hit and abuse you

When you've done nothing at all

Have you ever thought you could trust someone

But they just throw you around?
And you try so hard to hold back the tears

As you hit the ground?
Have you ever watched your best friend lie in front of you
and slowly fade away?
And you're just can't accept the fact

That she won't be there the next day?
Do you really know what it feels like
to have your heart get burned?
Have you ever left your house
Unsure if you'll return?
Have you ever looked to the stars
and prayed for the pain to end?
Begging please just take it away
And the next day you feel it again?
Have you ever told yourself to hold on
Please don't fall apart?
Have you ever really listened
to a young girl's broken heart?
Do you know how hard it is
for me to face another day?
If you don't then tell me why
People treat me this way?
Have you ever felt the pain I have
Do you know how I feel?
Have you ever thought about your past
and just wished it wasn't real?
Have you ever been face to face with rape
and you can't pull away?
Do you know how it feels when you can't move
You just let him have his way?
And you can't think, can't even breathe
Don't even have the strength to fight
All you wanna do is cry

Every time you think about that night
Have you ever watched your dad
Fall farther and farther away from your kiss?
You find out he takes depression pills
Why is life like this?
Have you ever screamed for help
Wishing someone would hear?
But no one hears your cries
No one sees your tears
have you ever been through
All the things I've been through?
If you haven't then tell me why
People treat me like they do?
