It’s always over in a minute
But her scars take forever to heal
Once it’s done she sits and cries all alone
Just begging that it wasn’t real
She wakes up in the morning
Bruises now set on her face
Father makes her stay home from school
Her heart is in a dark place.
She might be able to forgive…
If it didn’t happen everyday
What did she ever do?
To deserve a man like you
A father to destroy her life
To keep her up in fear, every night
To make her think that there’s more love
In the blade of this knife.
Now little Suzy, she’s only 12
She’s getting beaten like all hell
Her mother thinks she’s outta control
Because she tried to come out of her shell
She’s in her room all alone crying
She’s making herself bleed this time
She cuts herself to cause a pain,
Greater then the one in her mind
What did she ever do?
To deserve a woman like you
A mother to destroy her life
To keep her up in fear, every night
To make her think that there’s more love
In the blade of this knife.
