Baby, Don't You Cry Lyrics

He left and came back once again

Every time they think it is the end

She hears his laugh

Yes I know, he looks nice

Now she cries

She is happy today, ready to say yes

In her beautiful dress

Willingly, she manage to put a smile on her face

But is it in her best interest?

The flowers are settled, I beg her not to go

Can you please wake up?

Holding on to her father's arm as they walk down the aisle

She would give anything to rewrite the past

And go back to that moment she will always remember

As the worst, at least that's what she thinks now

They promise each other to be one forever

Who knew one kiss could hurt that much?

Baby, baby don't you cry

You're not allowed to show your scars

You'll keep em hidden deeper each time

Three weeks after the big day, going back home two minutes late

Would end up with a slap on her face

Four years later above her scream, I think I hear her baby crying

And see her eldest hiding, praying

Today his name is madness, tomorrow it'll be kindness

Confusion makes it hard to breath

From purple, to green, to yellow, to her skin color

Her bruises slowly fade away

But in her soul they hang on, unseen she's on her own

What if she can't make it another day

Her love turns into hate, out of guilt of fear she stays

She grabs something from the shelf to protect herself

Baby, baby don't you cry

You're not allowed to show your scars

You'll keep em hidden deeper each time

Baby, he knows you won't tell anyone

Where all this pain is coming from

You're too ashamed'd rather be alone

Look, it's right there, it's real for you to touch it

You can't see it, it's behind the door

Unlock it, life is so much more

I know what you're gonna say, he was tired and stressed

Probably had a bad day, you wanted to help

He didn't mean to let you lie for hours in bed

Trying to recover from his anger once again

Yeah, I know what he's gonna say, he feels guilty and regret

He didn't want to leave you on the floor, kept coming back for more

Kept using his past to justify how he acts

He shouldn't have, it's gonna end up in a bloodbath

The door you're tryna reach is getting smaller each day

Almost out of sight, cause every word that comes out

From his mouth sounds like a threat

You're afraid of what he could do to your children if you leave, so you stay

I see you fighting inside, surviving each night

Even when you're on your knees, you try to stand up to reach

That fuckin' door made of flowers, are they for mother's day?

Or meant to cover your grave, they're the ones from your wedding day

Your heart's racing, it's beating so loud

Thank god it was just a dream, you got out just in time

When he grabbed your wrist after seeing you talk to another guy

And called you a bitch, 5 minutes after in the car
