“Things can only get better,” you say.
The bruises eventually fade beneath the skin.
But the scars forever remain.
I listen to the words you speak,
not wanting to believe anything.
Sometimes I wish you would lie to me.
sugar coat it with a cherry on top for the child inside.
I don’t want to know the truth,
I can’t bear the images of you on the ground
begging for mercy.
Why can’t you just lie to me.

He breaks down my walls of happiness,
hes so far away but the memories are fresh in my mind.
I promise myself I will never be like you.
I will never let myself be swept away by the tide,
Even though his hateful eyes still linger

If only I could wish you my strength.
Although at times I am weak, I know I should rescue you.
But the truth will only burn and hurt you.
Nothing will change,
you are stuck in the same season,
and I can’t save you.
The only thing I know to do,
is remain silent and listen to you weep
and hope someday the tide will change.

Sometimes I wish you would lie to me.
Hide the elephant in the room,
bring me to memories of you running your fingers through my hair.
There was so much I didn’t know.
The future looked brighter
But then I learned and I can’t take back your words.
I can’t stop the blows.
I’m no superhero.
“Lie to me,” I think
As I remain silent and listen to you weep.

If only I could wish you my strength.
Although at times I am weak, I know I should rescue you.
But the truth will only burn and hurt you.
Nothing will change,
you are stuck in the same season,
and I can’t save you.
The only thing I know to do,
is remain silent and listen to you weep
and hope someday the tide will change

I’m stuck in the same old maze,
jumping through hoops to save you from the truth.
Speaking only of my day and always saying how much I love you.
I wish there was something I could do.
I’m no superhero.
and the truth will only burn and hurt you.

If only I could wish you my strength.
Although at times I am weak, I know I should rescue you.
But the truth will only burn and hurt you.
Nothing will change,
you are stuck in the same season,
and I can’t save you.
The only thing I know to do,
is remain silent and listen to you weep
and hope someday the tide will change

but we both know the truth.
It punctures at the hole in my heart.
It’s the same old routine,
you begin to weep,
and I whisper to the silence the truth.
I hang up and sit in the dark,
looking at the stars.
I’m no superhero,
but I will try to wish you all my strength.
