Why Didn't You Tell Me?

Am I supposed to have bruises on my wrist the next day? Was I being mean when I told him I didn't want to stay? And was it normal for him to up and leave while I'm frozen right here on my knees? Mama, I didn't know Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you warn me? Mama, why didn't you say I'd be lying here so scared that I can't scream? I believed what you told us That it was all about true love But Dad why didn't you say that all these years you were one of the good ones? I wish I didn't know the hell that this could be Maybe that's why you didn't tell me Was it supposed to take years for me to believe that I'm worthy? Was it my fault I didn't see that love ain't supposed to make you feel so dirty? I know it took just a few months, for you to see she was the one But Dad, I didn't know Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you warn me? Mama why didn't you say I'd be lying here so scared that I can't scream? I believed what you told us That it was all about true love But Dad why didn't you say that all these years you were one of the good ones? I wish I didn't know the hell this could be Maybe that's why you didn't tell me I know you love me You only want the best and to protect me But if I'd known from the beginning I wouldn't be Trying so hard not to treat myself like they treated me Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you warn me? Mama why didn't you say I'd be lying here so scared that I can't scream? I believed what you told us That it was all about true love But Dad why didn't you say that all these years you were one of the good ones? I wish I didn't know the hell this could be Maybe you didn't know love could be love in name only Maybe that's why you didn't tell me
