We don't talk about it

We don't talk about it

Suppress it, forget it

If I speak up I'll regret it

But I need an outlet

I'll just be poetic

Won't say too much I promise

No monsters hiding underneath

My bed but instead I kept a knife

Barricading doors and windows

Cos they're coming for your life

Fearing for the worst hearing

Any noise in the dead of night

Better lock my bedroom door

So the big bad boogeyman don't bite

Starve myself close to death

Just to feel some love

Beaten by the people

That we were supposed to trust

Head out into the world

With a mouth kept shut

Promise I won't say what happened

Or they'll kill all of us

I apologise

I think I've said too much

I'm so sorry I

Could not keep my mouth shut

Please just try and see

This from my point of view

This is all I have

To vent out the abuse

Cos we don't talk about it

We don't talk about it

Suppress it, forget it

If I speak up I'll regret it

But I need an outlet

I'll just be poetic

Won't say too much I promise

I'll try to convince you

Everything is fine but behind closed doors

We just witnessed and got between

Another physical assault

Grabbed by the throat

Lifted up and help against the wall

Spat on and laughed at and told

I'm worth nothing at all

Walking for miles and miles in the pouring rain

Just to make sure that the bastard returns her home safe

Broken bones, hearts attacks, sirens and cuffs

Give the authorities all the proof they need but there's consequence

I apologise

I think I've said too much

I'm so sorry I

Could not keep my mouth shut

Please just try and see

This from my point of view

This is all I have

To vent out the abuse

Cos we don't talk about it

I'm so sorry for talking about

The haunting memories of childhood

But I need a space to get it off my chest

Cos the weight is suffocating and I can't keep on fighting for breath

I apologise

I think I've said too much

I'm so sorry I

Could not keep my mouth shut

Please just try and see

This from my point of view

This is all I have

To vent out the abuse

Cos we don't talk about it
