Close Your Eyes

I gave you every chance I could to stop what you were doing
but you never ever would
you treated me and my heart like a punching bag
and yet you would claim to this day that you loved me

Did you close your eyes?
since you swore you hated to see me cry
did you block the sound?
every time you hit me and put me down
and then you blamed me...
did you close your eyes?
do you really have a stone cold heart,
or was that just for me, another lie?

Presents from you only served as a reminder
that you tried to buy my tolerance
you'd tell me I was worthless and then say it was my fault
how could you chew me up and spit me out over and over?

Did you close your eyes?
since you swore you hated to see me cry
did you block the sound?
every time you hit me and put me down
and then you blamed me...
did you close your eyes?
do you really have a stone cold heart,
or was that just for me, another lie?

You bruised my heart when you raised your fist
tore my trust apart when you scared me again and again
I gave you the benefit of every doubt but it wasn't enough
I was never enough, so I'm traumatized now
I just can't figure out... did you close your eyes?
