Listen To Me

I know her.
She's the prettiest in class
Her life's an open book
but no one ever bothered to read her past.
I did. It wasn't perfect
Her mother used to beat her when she was just a kid
Her father didn't leave her but he's a drug addict.
8 years old but she felt as if she's never wanted
8 years old and she never took things for granted.
At 13, on her way home 3 guys jumped on her
Scared and alone she tried to tell her mother
but her mother always thought of her as an attention-getter.
16 yet wearing adult's make up
Hoping to cover the flaws and start looking for love
Sleeping around just to find the right guy
but every single one of them starts to lie.
She's beautiful but no one dared to love her
she's only good in bed other than that she's just danger
What if we could risk every thing we have?
Let me love your good and your bad
Let my walls cave in.
Listen to me,
The world owes us all an apology
Take my hand let's get away from here
Go to a place without inhibition and fear
A place we'll call our home
and finally let's us breathe
I've seen your exterior
show me what's underneath.
