Careless Mistake

I put myself in danger I covered up the bruises I spread more lies I protected you My family turned against me They knew what was going on But they threw me to the ground My mother told me This is something i just have to deal with My bruises will heal I just had to survive this somehow That's when i knew i was alone No one was coming to save me If it came down to it I'll have to fight for my own life I'll have to get used to standing alone
