Runaway Child

When she hurts me I hide it inside Secretly feeling like I've died 17 years I been there How could Tony ever compare Hospital after hospital Sickle cell crisis Real life emergencies Never once did I leave your side Now you use tyshawns mom as your alibi How much more hurt is to come Keep saying I'm done At night I lie awake Trying to relate Pondering if i can equate I smile but I'm broken in two But what can I do Trembling inside Wish it was all a God dam lie Seems like the longest ride Don't know if she safe or ok Hope she comes back someday
