Please.... just. Don't.
I know you see it when you look at me
I know you want to ask
I know you see the haunted looks
The fact my hands still shake
I see it in your eyes you see
Every time you look at me
So please... just. Don't.
Don't stand there pitying me
Pretending to want to help
Because the pain you do see
Isn't a fraction of what is done to me
So please... just. Don't.
Keep not interfering
Even though I know you know
I know you hear me beg and please
Please dady stop!
I know you notice how I flinch or even try to hide
I know you see him watching me
In a way no adult should
But WHT have you done to ever help
Other than say nothing knowing you probably should
So please... just. Don't.
Don't pretend to see me when others are around
Don't pretend d to actually know me when you see me walking through town
Because I know you knew what happened
While it was still going down
But once again no one helped even whe. You could hear my screams through town.
So please... just. Don't.
Pretend to be my friend now that it is done.
Don't pretend to listen now when you listen to it being done.
Don't pretend to be on my side years after to turned a blind eye.
Because I know you saw.
I know you know
But you left me to fight alone.
Because it wasn't your business
Wasn't your fight.
So now years later when I'm standing on my own
You now what to apologize for things you've never done.
But please... just. Don't.
There's nothing you can say to me
To help me forget the betrayal.
There nothing left to be done now
But to say see you later.
Because you didn't care then and surely don't care now
If you'd been a friend then I would be so scared now.
So please..
Go about you daily life like you did way back then
Just pretend di don't exist just like you did then
Don't worry about me now when you didn't then
And please remember that you could've made a difference.
All it would've taken is a simple phone call
But it wasn't your business
I was simply a bad kid
So please.. just. Don't.
Look at me a pretend like you actually wanted to help.
