Who Would Have Known

Who would have known that words could cut And pierce beneath the skin Leave a scar inside your heart That nothing seems to mend Who would have known the weight that's felt From carrying around such hurt The words fly around inside your head And you just assume it's what you deserve Who would have known that everyday Would turn into a fight The slightest inconvenience Could ruin an entire night Who would have known of the bruises The ones that do not leave a mark But are felt inside your soul As you slowly fall apart Who would have known you'd hurt me When I loved you so damn hard Remembering who you use to be While realizing who you are Who would have known I'd be here In this dark place I've been before I thought this was my "happy ever after" That people search their whole lives for Who would of known you'd break me Belittle me without any shame Never understanding the trauma That you cause with how you behave Who would have known I'd cower Just set back and accept this fate No kissing, holding hands or butterflies No dancing the night away Who would have known I'd hold on The way that I have Still keeping hope inside my heart While fighting reality back
