The Saddest Song I'Ve Ever Heard
The Saddest Song
(I’ve Ever Heard)
No guitar no drums
No melody to be heard
Just the beat of my heart
Thud thud thud
Harder & harder
As the fear gets stronger
What is a girl to do when the one she loves the most?
Is also the one she fears the most
Saying no won’t help
He will do it anyway
With his manhood
With a knife or sometimes even a candle
The pain is more than I can bear
Yet I have to stay strong
He won’t stand for tears
So inside I cry
As I listen to the sound of
The Saddest Song
(I’ve Ever Heard)
I wanted so bad to tell
I wanted to make it all stop
Yet I was afraid of losing the one person
Who loved me the most
I didn’t want anyone to take him away
So I suffered in silence
I did my best to hide the pain
And the music played on for
The Saddest Song
(I’ve Ever Heard)
With a mother who didn’t seem to care
All I had was my dad
Yet he was the one who couldn’t control his
Desires
He was the one hurting me more & more
When it wasn’t him
It was his friends who paid to have a piece of the action
So I just retreated inside myself
So I didn’t have to feel the pain
Tried to block it out
Pretend I was someone else
Watching from a distance
Yet the pain still didn’t go away
And the tears never stopped falling
Inside of me
I felt so all alone
Listening to the sound of
The Saddest Song
(I’ve Ever Heard)
He passed away
I pushed the pain away
Locked it in a box in a space deep inside
Forgot it all until recently
Then the music started to play
And the memories came rushing back
The holes in my childhood are filling in
And for each new memory
A tear forms in my eyes
And no matter how hard I try
I can’t keep them from falling
Down my face
As I realize
The Saddest Song
(I’ve Ever Heard)
Is the story of my life
&
It I hadn’t remembered
It may have never been heard
