How Could He?
He let him hurt me
He turned and walked away
I struggled to be free
As he detained me once again
He barely let me go, I ran to hide
Not letting it show what I was feeling inside
I turned to a corner and cried out loud
Drinking and partying
That's all on his mind
While I'm standing in silence
Avoiding mankind
I wanted to run away, so far away from there
For nobody would ever miss me, for nobody would
even care
I explained it was intentional, he said to just forget it
and let it be, but he didn't feel the increasing pain that was bestowed
upon me
Total discretion is what he professed
Pretending I was fine, ignoring I'm distressed
I was hurt
I was badly shamed
And there is no one else but him to blame
for making me feel this way inside
for turning the other cheek to the tears
my eyes have cried
I begged him, time and time again
To tell this man, to let it end
He drank his beer and walked away
And for that I'll forgive not another day.
