Hide away each night


Hide away each night

 I hide away each night, an try to stay out of sight
 Mommy's always gone, Daddy's now home.
 I hear him yell my name as its every night the same.
 He sneaks into my room as my heart fills with doom,
 I try to scream an yell, but he covers my mouth
 an tells me not to tell, or I would go to jail.
 When he is done he wipes the blood off
 from my body, don't you ever tell nobody

 I hide away each night an try to stay out of sight.
 I cover the bruises an cry in pain.
 cause every night is all the same.
 Broken an damaged is my name
 Rape an lies where daddy's game.
 I was only six years old when it started
 Now I have parted from this hell
 cause daddy went to jail.

 I hide away each night, try to stay out of sight.
 He hurt me in so many ways 
 I would of never of  been the same.
 The secrete with in these walls 
 would make your skin just crawl.
 The things I've done an seen 
 as I was just so small.
