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
