You don’t know how it feels 

Because you’re the one cutting 

Cutting into my brain with your words

Cutting into my skin with your actions 

Cutting into me like I’m a corpse 

You stabbed a piece of glass into my heart

You put a knife in my back 

You cut me down

And yet you want me to be great

But you who teach me to be kind 

Teach be to be respectful 

Teach me to do right 

you don’t know how to do 

What an example 

You say you love me 

But actions speak louder than words

And Your thoughts say otherwise 


You’re just a hypocrite

Jealous of your daughter  

Maybe one day I’ll be enough 

Or maybe I’ll be gone 

Maybe you’ll never get your daughter back 

Or Maybe I’ll cut you down, put a knife in your back, and stab your heart

And Now you know how I feel 

But do you care? 

Do you care that you’ve ruined me 

Do you care I’m no longer that little girl who laughed till she cried 

Do you care enough to treat me right

Or are you just gonna keep throwing pieces of glass left and right 

Do you care how I feel? 


Piece by piece you hurt me 

Piece by piece you broke me 

Piece by piece I fell apart 

Piece by piece you left me crying in the dark 

Piece by piece I was tore 

Piece by piece i bleed even more 

Pieces of glass you threw

Pieces of glass i melt together 

Because somehow they’ll always be part of me 

They made me who I am 

Pieces of glass i will always love 

Pieces of glass I’ll forever  see

Pieces of me lost that I’ll never get back 

Safe to say You don’t know how it feels

Deep down I know I still love you 

But when can I get the love back?
