Lyrics
Iสผm so sick of always hiding the truth
We all know someone who has dealt with abuse
And thereสผs no way we can let it slide
Oh hey, whatสผs that another bruise to hide?
Oh itสผs nothing, I just fell, and if I talk they could spend the night in the cells
And when they get out thereสผs a price on my head, Iสผll take a few small knocks not to
end up dead
So let me tell you loveสผs a dangerous thing
โCause loveสผll hide a side of someone and bring you peace, when all theyสผll bring is
pain
You get the blame
So when they tell you that you ainสผt worth a thing
But in your mind you can change them to bring you comfort
Trust me theyสผll never change
They stay the same
It makes me sick to think that when you look at their face you donสผt see the person
that I see
Iสผve seen you cower in fear when they walk too near
Now itสผs about time we get โem out of here
Iสผm so sick of always hiding the truth
We all know someone who has dealt with abuse
And thereสผs no way we can let it slide
Oh hey, whatสผs that another bruise to hide?
Oh itสผs nothing, I just fell, and if I talk they could spend the night in the cells
And when they get out thereสผs a price on my head, Iสผll take a few small knocks not to
end up dead
Youสผll never see that side of them
(No never in the daylight)
Youสผll never see that side of them
(No never in the sunshine)
And Iสผll always miss that side of you
That they took away
It only happened the once and yeah sure I was drunk, man it was all my fault โcause
I talk too much. Thatสผs right, blame yourself, โcause they treat you so well they just
change when the light goes off
They all change when the lights go...
Ainสผt it funny that we use that excuse?
Only when someone mentions abuse
I say we talk about it like it goes
We blame the victims and it really shows
This just canสผt go on
