Screams from the next room
Little sister crying
Wanting to console her
But knowing you'd be lying
If you say it'll be over soon
'Cause you don't really know
With all the strength you have inside
You clutch onto the hope
That tomorrow will be brighter
You know Mum's a fighter
But just how much can she take?
How much does she have inside her?
But sooner or later
Things do get quieter
And you see her pretty face again
Just as bright if not brighter
Bruises here and there
But still smiling with such glow
Thinking everything is good again
She never lets you know
All the struggles that she faces
Day in and day out
Broken bones from his hands
Mental scars from his shout
But fear is only temporary
And soon you all get older
While her life gets warmer
His only gets colder
'Til all he has left
Is a photo in a frame
The echo of his voice
And only himself to blame
(ayy)
