Smile back at me

When you walk away

So much I want to tell

but so much more I'll never say

Don't look back and tell me

"It's me, its not you"

because we both know, girl

that not one word of that is true

you aren't the first one

to turn and walk away

go on with your life

me, i'll be ok

and these are not tears

in my eyes

because the truth is

I don't want to cry

battered broken

and abused

i thought i could

depend on you 

to make me strong

and set me free

but you just brought me

to my knees

Daddy, daddy

tell me why

i'm not good enough

no matter how hard i try

tell me how to earn your love

earn your praise

instead of walking around

in this foggy haze

and you won't see tears

in my eyes

I'm a big boy now

and i'm not going to cry

I need you to make me strong

then set me free

but  you just knocked me 

to my knees

on my knees

tonight I pray

give me the right word

so that i can say

the truth about who i am

the truth about abuse

and help me turn the other cheek

when they tell me that isn't the truth
