The Saddest Song I'Ve Ever Heard

The Saddest Song (I’ve Ever Heard) No guitar no drums No melody to be heard Just the beat of my heart Thud thud thud Harder & harder As the fear gets stronger What is a girl to do when the one she loves the most? Is also the one she fears the most Saying no won’t help He will do it anyway With his manhood With a knife or sometimes even a candle The pain is more than I can bear Yet I have to stay strong He won’t stand for tears So inside I cry As I listen to the sound of The Saddest Song (I’ve Ever Heard) I wanted so bad to tell I wanted to make it all stop Yet I was afraid of losing the one person Who loved me the most I didn’t want anyone to take him away So I suffered in silence I did my best to hide the pain And the music played on for The Saddest Song (I’ve Ever Heard) With a mother who didn’t seem to care All I had was my dad Yet he was the one who couldn’t control his Desires He was the one hurting me more & more When it wasn’t him It was his friends who paid to have a piece of the action So I just retreated inside myself So I didn’t have to feel the pain Tried to block it out Pretend I was someone else Watching from a distance Yet the pain still didn’t go away And the tears never stopped falling Inside of me I felt so all alone Listening to the sound of The Saddest Song (I’ve Ever Heard) He passed away I pushed the pain away Locked it in a box in a space deep inside Forgot it all until recently Then the music started to play And the memories came rushing back The holes in my childhood are filling in And for each new memory A tear forms in my eyes And no matter how hard I try I can’t keep them from falling Down my face As I realize The Saddest Song (I’ve Ever Heard) Is the story of my life & It I hadn’t remembered It may have never been heard
