How Could You Do This?

How could you do this

My house is a cage

And you just left me here

All alone

Like I'm nothing

A nobody

You left

Without looking back

Without even saying goodbye

How could you do this

How can you act

Like I'm invisible

Just like everybody else

And yet I'm still scared

After all this time

To be myself

To show the world who I am

And to be free

How could you do this

Everyday

People see me

But what they don't know is

It's not really me

It's my other side

My softer side

The side that gets

Pushed around

Manipulated

Lied to

The side that gets hurt

How could you do this

I'm trapped in my own home

With no way to escape

And it's your fault

Cause you're the one who lied

The one who left

Not me

And I'm the one

Who had to pay the price

For what you did

How could you do this

You left

And it tore my family apart

I can't even talk

To my own mother

Cause she wouldn't understand

I can't even talk

To my own sister

Without it turning

Into a fight

I can't even talk

To my own family

Cause I know

That they won't care

They won't even listen

Cause no one hears me

No one ever does

How could you do this

How can you simply

Walk away

Without a single regret

How can you not

Remember

What you did

To me

And not feel a thing

How could you do this
