What does it take to do that?
To run away and leave
To abandon those you said you loved
To break what we believed
I knew that it was all my fault
I wasn't pretty enough or smart
I knew if I was better
You could have given us your heart
I wonder if I was sweeter
Quieter and meek
Maybe you wouldn't have hurt me
Because I was small and weak
I think if I was stronger
Independent and mature
I think you would have preferred that
You would have loved me more I'm sure
I knew that I was bad and wrong
So when your hand would rise
Or when you yelled and roared so loud
It brought fresh tears to my eyes
I knew that it was all my fault
I used to run and hide
But now I sit here damaged, broken
And I feel that pain inside
