Broken Way

No one can save her
She longs for abuse
It is the only way she can know the truth
No one can please her
With comforting words
Screams are her love language
"She likes the way it hurts"

Don't call out her name
You'll bite her feeding hand
Colored in shame
She's sinking in the sand

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
So come out to play and escape the truth
Dressed in white in her Robin Hood
Stole the light from the happiest afternoon
Through locked doors is a bellowing storm
She hides the clouds away
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
Who can love her this hateful, broken way?

No one can see her
With tears in her eyes
Told to be stronger
'Cause "big girls don't cry"
And no one can know the way
How she sits in her room and longs for the days
When her heart stops bleeding and she stops breathing
And slowly wastes away

Don't try to get in
Her walls are built too high
The wrong kind of sin
She'll fall if she tries to fly

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
So come out to play and escape the truth
Dressed in white in her Robin Hood
Stole the light from the happiest afternoon
Through locked doors is a bellowing storm
She hides the clouds away
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
Who can love her this hateful, broken way?

Run
Lock the door
I've been hurt before, I've been hurt before
Hide the sun
Run
Lock the door
I've been hurt before, I've been hurt before
Hide the sun

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
So come out to play and escape the truth
Dressed in white in her Robin Hood
Stole the light from the happiest afternoon
Through locked doors is a bellowing storm
She hides the clouds away
Oh it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
Who can love her this hateful, broken way?

I've been hurt before, I've been hurt before
Hide the sun

Will her happiness be unspoken?
Will she build herself from this broken way?
