If You're On The Outside

If you're on the outside looking in
Can you see the sadness in her eyes?
If you're on the outside glancing in
Do you take notice of the lies?

Her sadness won't seem to fade
She just can't be set free.
She tells herself that this her life
Forever trapped in misery.

The lies she tells herself
For her, feels like the truth.
She understimates
The power of abuse.

Her neighbors hear her crying
And they hear what words are said.
Her parents look at her
Like they'd be better off with her dead.

She can see her shadow
But she cannot feel her soul.
She's been numbed by the insults
It's all taking its toll.

Her heart is full of pain
And it's lacking all affection.
With wounds caused by hurt and anger
She doesn't have protection.

This is her life
And she blames it on herself.
This is her life
A silent cry out for help.

This is her hell
And she can't seem to escape.
This is her hell
Believing that it's too late to be saved.

If you're on the outside looking in
Can you see the pain in her eyes?
If you're on the outside glancing in
Do you take notice of her cries?
