I try to be quiet
I hear them get closer
their shoes echo on the floor
my life's a roller coaster.
Was it honestly her
who told me she loved me
not 3 hours before
holding me closely
all has changed now
''cause he has arrived
he scares me so much
I run and I hide.
They're trying to find me
they're using the trick
take a few steps
and listen for a tick,
wait for the sound
for my breath to run out
I'll need to breathe soon
then I'm busted, sought out
I know what is coming
it's easier to surrender
to broken bones and bruises
I can explain them later.
Pulled up from my place
I can see his smile
smell the scotch on his breath
I have to swallow the bile.
I try to be quiet
not a sound, not a peep
I'm scared of his games
I don't like Hide and seek.
