She covers the bruise with a little foundation
Pushes back the tears
Pastes on a smile
This is the life she signed up for
Even if she didn’t know it at the time
She pretends to be ok
As he forces himself on her
Doing things she never wanted, or would ever want
This is the life she signed up for
Even if she didn’t know it at the time
Her heart slowly grows cold
Numb
As she drives those away who might dare care
This is the life she signed up for
Tears turn to dust
Another walks away
Unable to deal with her fears
This is the life she signed up for
She slips the rope around her neck
Remembering those before her
Blocking out those still here
This is the life she signed up for.
Struggling for breath that won’t come
Watching the world grow dark
This is the death she signed up for.
