What right did you have to put my life in danger
Not just physical but emotional and mental too
Do you realize what you put me through?
Walking around intentionally blind
To the pain and suffering that you inflicted
You could see my tears and yet you persisted
In having your own way
Time after time, day after day
You told me lies, you said I wanted you to
Do the things you used to do
But they were lies and I was afraid
So I hoped and I waited and I prayed
That one day you would go away to stay
How many nights did I lay awake in dread
That the next sound I heard would be you at my bed
How many times did I play sick from school
Just because you told me to
How many days did I lose
So that I could be there for you to use
So many times I cried and I prayed
That someone would help me
And I would be saved
So many times I waited to hear
There would be no more cause for my tears
And my fear
But time took so long to take you away
I didn't think I'd ever live to see that day
But now that I'm here
And those days are gone
I want you to know the pain and the memories
Still linger on
This is just one victim's song
Telling a tale of the hurt and the wrong
That I suffered at the hands of someome close
Of the people I loved and trusted the most
I'm singing this song
This tale of woe
To others like me
Just to let you know
That I understand!
It's okay to let it go!
I've been there too
And you're not alone!
