In Yours

Walking in your shadow No one can see The face of an angel Let me be free In a world full of pain You hide it so well Cover my mouth And keep me in hell The stuff you pulled I can’t believe You put your man first In front of me Your life’s messed So you messed mine too Told all those lies To cover the truth Before it happen You knew what he’d do Still you let them take me Four years of abuse Your place was my get away But not for long Your mans eyes showed lust In the youngest of wrong You knew it was happening But turned your head We tried to tell you We cried and pleaded He molested me And my little sister I’ll kill that mother ker He comes near her And still today You stand by his side Swear up and down You’re in the right You need help You know you do It’s your choice It’s all on you The drinking and drugs The fighting and abuse It something I’ve learned My kids will never go through So with all the mess And all I’ve been through I’ll look you in the eye And tell you thank you Stacy Day
