Us

How long has it been this way
Have my eyes always been shut
Have I been ignoring this all my life
Until now I haven't seen the terror
The pain
His sin
I haven't heard
Her screams
Her cry
Her pain

Why when she smiled
I thought it was real
Why when he spoke
I thought it was just a joke
Yet I didn't see
That what he did
Was real

He broke her down
Broke me down
Broke us down
Until we were nothing
Yet we try
We still move on
We cover our ears from his threats
We close our eyes from his actions

Everything he has taken from us
We tried to work without it
Without hope
Without love
Without family

But now its gotten harder
She is leaving me
And I can't stay forever but I need to try
To be with her and show her
Hope
Love
And family
