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
