lyrics

I couldn’t even reach
The bathroom sink
It’s 10pm I should be asleep
But he’s screaming
And I’m listening
I don’t understand their words
But I know enough to
Fear him leaving
And I thought it was over when I left you
And everyone told me
One day I’ll forgive
But I can’t forgive what my body won’t let me forget
Now I can
I wash my hands
Of the guilt
That there was something wrong with me
Still, I doubt that I can
Be loved for every part of me
So I hide under the covers still
Cry in the darkness still
You're gone but always a part of me
I’m reminded every time that I hurt
you did this to me
My little brothers asking for mom
But she can’t come right now
I’ll hold him tight and try to
