Waking up every morning
Counting all these bruises on my skin
Like they never even happened
Wondering if I'll ever be the person that I used to be again
Again
Black and blue all over
Begging for my mother to defend
Me and my sister
Why must we pay for your sins?
Zip my lips and tell me lies
Won't rely on what you say
It's never right
(Victim of circumstance)
(They're way too young to understand)
Taking what's not yours and all that shit you pull
Why'd you put me through?
(Curl my fists in anger)
(Guess I'll let it linger)
Think you're tough
Hurting everything around you
Mostly the people that love you
(I'm sorry they didn't believe you)
You've got it right, I've got it bad
Someone teach me more than to just take the blame
(But you know that I do)
Waking up every morning
Counting all these bruises on my skin
Like they never even happened
Wondering if I'll ever be the person that I used to be again
Oh god, please help me
Black and blue all over
Begging for my mother to defend
Me and my sister
Why must we pay for your sins?
'Cause you won't let me be
