Run from hurt

Run from pain

Run from you as the sky rains

Lighting lights up my path the path i run

Thunder drowns out my cries which were caused by you

She is lost in blood and tears

In a city of terror and cries

She lost herself in a cloud of dust
now just sitting there she must

Block out the tears threaten to come down her cheeks

She was blinded and lied to left

Alone with a broken heart to mend

And scars to remind her of the pain he caused

She lived and learned now she moves on

Her scars faded and heart mended not by him

But by us
