Frightened Child

i dont know why im scared to open my mouth
or why i willingly leave it closed
im always walking silently around in my head
somethimes i just wish i was dead
but then how can i explain to loved ones what happened
CHORUS
I'm not bad but i feel dirty
Like i'm an intruder in my own skin
I hope your getting on because i'm not
and i probably never will again

when you abused me for no reason
i found it hard because i did nothing wrong
i used to think that i was insane
i just hope your satisfied for all of my pain

CHORUS

no one will ever know how hard it is
i could write a book on all i've been through
but now this frightened child has grown up
And realized that she doesnt need you

CHORUS
