Blue and Black
Time and time again
He hits her
The world goes by
Ignoring the sight
Her face is black and blue
Makeup isn't covering her scars
She smiles and says its ok
She fell and hit some concrete
More lies, more lies
If I could change one thing
I would change the violence
The torture
The pain
These women don't deserve
These women shouldn't be victims
Their smiles should be real.
Their smiles should be bright.
They are black and blue
Swollen and bloody
They hide the truth.
Instead they smile
Hiding the tears
And the fears
The have nothing.
He didn't mean it
He didn't mean it
Black and blue
Swollen and bloody
He didn't mean it.
If I could change one thing
Just one
It would be this.
