My Brother Says "i love you"

Tell me you understand again
How my life feels

Explain to me why my fears are wrong
Because you seem to know so much
About something that doesn't exist

Say again that I can trust you
You won't tell a soul
About what "Daddy did"

You think you make things better
When you tell me how horrible he is

It's all his fault - not mine
And you think it's all history
Since we met you

But you aren't there
In the middle of the night

Your heart doesn't race
Because only I can hear the screaming

You don't lay in bed waiting
For that door to open
And pray he thinks you're asleep

You're not the one who can't fight back
Because that would only make it worse

You're not me
And you can't understand
Because it was never Daddy
