about

This song is to say "I see you" and "You are not alone" to anyone who has experienced intimate partner violence.

lyrics

Built yourself a perfect home
a balcony, pictures on the wall
Of memories made on the road

And he said „You are the one for me
Even though you’re only seventeen
His words were kisses soft and sweet

Little did you know

Waiting for him to pick you up, all dressed up but he forgot
When you raised your voice he laughed it off
Little comments late at night turning into aimless fights
but to love someone means sacrifice, right?

My friend, I don’t know what to say
Your pain, I wish I could take it away

They said think twice before you leave
What you have is everybody’s dream
But his heart’s turned darker than the ink on his skin

Little they know

He said he loves you, needs your touch
And he was going through so much
So when he raised his hand, you sucked it all up

My friend, I don’t know what to say
Your pain, I wish I could take it away
My friend, no matter which roads you will take
Know that I’m in this with you either way, either way.

And though it’s scary now on your own
I know your heart will be beating strong

My friend, there’s nothing that I could say
No words, could make your pain fade away
My friend, no matter which roads you will take
Know that I’m in this with you either way, either way
