I see the pain in her eyes

As the days, they go by

She says that everything is fine

Attempts weak smiles through her lies

And I know, yes I know

Just too much, to let it go

And it’s the fear in which she lives

That fuels the way that she forgives

How can a person hold on?

To a hot burden for so long?

Her face, oh so scarred

She lives in quiet despair

Chorus:

Oh, my sister

Why is it so hard to say?

That “He’s hurting me...He’s hurting me”

Please, please, answer my pleas
say that “He’s hurting me”

Sis,

Why’s it so hard to do

When you know he’s hurting you

Please, please

Answer my plea

Cuz now it’s hurting me

Too

Dear, you don’t have to be

the dirt beneath his old shoes

The boys a long way from man

Why wait around for this fool?

You’re so much better than that

The way that he makes you feel

You don’t deserve this at all

Don’t you know, pain can kill?

Oh, my sister

Why is it so hard to say?

That “He’s hurting me”

Please, answer my pleas
say “He’s hurting me”

Sis,

Whys it so hard to do

When you know he’s hurting you

Please, please

Answer my plea

Cuz now it’s hurting me

too

Oh, you can freed

Your golden wings were no clipped

They seem a bit darker now

But know that God has not slipped

Oh, honey

Be there no shame

Despite that fact that it stings

Though there is one mean that goes

You must get out of this thing

Oh, my sister

Why is it so hard to say?

That “He’s hurting me...He’s hurting me”

Please, please, answer my pleas
say that “He’s hurting me”

Sis,

Why’s it so hard to do

when you know he’s hurting you

Please, please

Answer my plea

Cuz now it’s hurting me

Too

Repeat)
