I don't know why, but my father can't find me

I don't know why, but my head just hit the wall

I don't know why, but now I'm going to fall

I don't know why I always curl up in a ball

I don't know why I always have to fall

I don't know why he always hits so hard

I don't know why I always fall apart

I don't know why parents have to hit

Every time a child throws a fit

I don't know why my sister still has dreams

I don't know why she wakes up and she screams

She's twenty-two, and her past affects her still

I don't know why her past is still so real

I don't know why my father treated us so

I don't know why love he cannot show

I don't know why he hit my mom so much

Made her cry and bleed and such

I don't know why bruises always appear

I don't know why other kids always sneer

I don't know why mom left me all alone

With a man whose love was never shown

I don't know why he let me live

Or why he would take but never give

I don't know why he has to be

Such a bad person inwardly

I don't know why other people think

He's being nice when he gives you a wink

I don't know why you dont run away

Or why you listen to what he has to say

You should run away, as far as you can

I don't know why you would think he's a man

He cannot be human, this much I'm sure

Humans should not destroy the spirits of the pure

I don't know why he doesn't just die
