She was the problem, so she was told day after day,
So she did her best to stay out of his way.
She’d sit there on her bed, waiting for him to come home,
She’d hear his heavy boots come close, and pray he’d leave her alone.
The neighbors heard the screaming, but they chose to ignore,
They turned up their tv sets till they heard the sounds no more.
Turn out the lights, let her be, all the signs we failed to see,
Those bruises were more than accidents, a young lost soul with no defense.
And we all wondered, but never dared to ask,
And now she’s lying on the floor with one last.. gasping breath,
And in the morning papers they will announce her death.
But it's just another story on the back of the second page, no big deal, it happens everyday.
Have you ever stopped to think, that you could have made the diffrence, that that little girl was crying out, you heard her, but did you listen?
Im 14 be nice, and I want this to do with god watching these people ignore.
