Hurt Me Further

Fear

You don't know fear

Until alone at night

You know no one's there

But you're scared they're here

Until the past is gone

And he is too

But still you watch the shadows

All day long

Until the simple sight

Of a red pickup truck

Chills you to the core

And you're ready to fight

Until you know you'll be fine

But you still lock the door

And grab a knife

Cause the nagging in your mind

Until everyday's a task

That you have to face

And the smile you wear

Is the perfect mask

Until you sleep with a knife

And turn on all the lights

Because the lock on the door

Could give in tonight

Until you sit in your room

On the closet floor

Hoping that for once

He won't find you

Until you can't wear shorts

Because they show too much

And you know there are

Horrid people in this world

Until a simple flirt

Sets off an alarm

Cause the last guy that said that

Forced his hands up your skirt

Until everywhere you go

It always persists

The remembrance of sin

One you wish you'd never known

You don't know fear, you see

You don't know the thing

That lurks deep in my mind

Until you've been me
