The scars of yesterday,
they hide behind my smile.
I need some time alone,
to leave my sorrow for a while.
Your words were so hurtful,
you screamed everyday.
You said I was worthless,
I was always in the way.
Your words would cut me down,
you made me feel so small.
I use to have a zest for life,
now there's nothing left at all.
I need to find a way,
to stop the pain and strife.
I have to find some happiness,
before I take my life.
The bitterness has settled,
it's deep within my soul.
My mind and body fights each day,
to once again feel whole.
I pray to God each day,
to help me make things right.
I need to find the strength,
to make it through another night.
Now I can no longer love you,
all our dreams have turned gray.
Each time that you hurt me,
you took a piece of love away.
