Watching From the Window

You see her everyday Bruises hiding pain Watching from the window In silence you remain Darkness controls her future His grip grabs her soul Watching from the window A witness to it all Screams of pain bring chills You can't believe your eyes Watching from the window A precious life you deny Helpless body broken He lingers with her there Watching from the window Her pain you cannot bare He sells her soul to darkness While you pretend to cry Watching from the window You didn't even try An empty body lost Her heart lived in fear Watching from the window Pleading you refused to hear Another life forgotten If you would've only told Watching from the window Lifeless body taken by control written by JSQ
