I Know Why

I know why the abused don’t cry To hide their tears from you and I With scars on their hearts, way too deep… And memories of madness, they wish not to keep To hide in the dark until they all die… I know why the abused don’t cry And I know why the abused don’t grin Going throughout life as if it were a sin Walking around with a frown on their face And the scars that hurt the worst, don’t leave a trace Looking at life, as if they’ll never win… I know why the abused don’t grin I know why the abused don’t fly…. Higher and higher, up to the sky They’re chained to the ground like a bird in its’ cage Each time they are beaten, they fill up with rage Closing their eyes, each time they sigh… I know why the abused don’t fly Yes, and I know why the abused don’t cry… Afraid to laugh, cause it’d be a lie Screaming and crying, at night, in their sleep Praying to survive… but the wounds are too deep So, to hide in the dark, until we all die… I know why the abused don’t cry
