Broken
Home
You live in a broken home, a place that no one wants to be
I've only been there a few times and it's uncomfortable even for me
Why can't you see that the way he beats and mistreats is not the way love should be
You're worth way more than you perceive yourself to be
So why can't you leave
Why can't you find yourself and be all you could be
Why do you let him hold you away from she
The woman you hide from the world but only show to me
You are amazing inside and out, but does he ever tell you that
You have overcome so many obstacles, and endured much yet you still feel stuck
What's holding you back
You say you love him but he doesn't love you
You look me in the eyes with pain shinning through your tears and argue that he does, he just hasn't shown it in years
What am I to say when you're going to do what you want
Every word I speak goes into one ear and out the other one
I'm not trying to get in the way, I just want to see you have fun, dry your tears cause the night's just begun
Don't you want to live a free life, you only get one
Instead you let him control you turning you into someone you thought you'd never become
Stop hiding, stop fearing a cowardly man who gets his power by feeding off of your misery
I pray for you everyday in hopes that one day you'll finally see
Everything I have been trying to preach
But for now this is the life you keep on choosing
I'll always be here for you without a doubt, but until you get out you'll keep on losing
Losing friends, family, everything that you hold dear...
Your happiness, your sanity, to cope with the pain you pick up a bottle and drink
Bottle after bottle, cup after cup is this your way of slowly giving up
Waiting for the one day when you'll say enough is enough
One day it could be your life you lose, doesn't that mean anything to you
You have people who are depending on you
Everytime y'all fight you tell the kids to get out of sight but they already know the truth and if they don't, they'll see the after effects
Another busted lip, black eye, or bruises all over your face and neck
God, I'm so tired of this. What are you showing to your kids? Will they think it's okay, will they think you're the one to blame
When it's all really him, a child in a grown man's body a spoiled brat who's incapable of loving anybody
He spends his nights in the streets with no hobby trying to find some girl or anybody for the night just to lay up and have sex with
I know it breaks your heart please tell me why you think you deserve this
You say I'm just an outsider looking in, but I wouldn't be able to if the house wasn't broken to begin...
