The moon and the stars come up
The sun goes down
The sun goes down
You see a smile brighten up my face
but how do you know it's real
how do you know it's fake
how do you know what i feel right now
how do you know what i feel inside_
oh ooh

another day goes by
and i just wonder why God
why God put me through everything i had
being hit and brought down
being ripped and torn apart
felt like my brother was all i had

i wanted to get out
i wanted to run away
i didn't want to leave him behind
i did things i know i shouldn't have
i sat in my room
thought of all the abuse
i tried to tell my mom
she shrugged it off
and it'd all start again

There was no way out
i tried everything
i didn't believe in God
i had no faith
but that's when i knew
i needed to pray

the moon and the stars come up
the sun goes down
the sun goes down
you see a smile brighten up my face
but how do you know it's real
how do you know it's fake
how do you know what i feel right now
how do you know what i feel inside_
oh ooh

i wanted to get out
i wanted to run away
i didn't want to leave him behind
i did things i know i shouldn't have
i sat in my room
thought of all the abuse
i tried to tell my mom
she shrugged it off
and it'd start again

i wanted to get out
i wanted to run away
i didn't want to leave him behind
and i did things
i did things i know
i did things i know i shouldn't
have
