I was trying to express how she not only hurts herself but me and my brothers, dad, and sister. [bodytext] => Memories Of Madness

She’s one person by day,
And another by night

Saying things she won’t remember,
But I can’t forget

It’s hard to hate someone so close,
And forgive someone so mean

It’s hard to listen to others complain,
When you would give anything to have what they have

It’s hard for me to understand the way she thinks,
As she tries to justify all she does

Knowing she’s wrong,
But not being able to brush off all she says

Watching as she hurts not only me, but all those I love,
And hating her for it

She knows not what she does,
But I do

She is the one person I should love,
But I cannot find the strength

It’s more than just being a teen,
It’s being hurt

Memories Of Madness

She’s one person by day,
And another by night

Saying things she won’t remember,
But I can’t forget

It’s hard to hate someone so close,
And forgive someone so mean

It’s hard to listen to others complain,
When you would give anything to have what they have

It’s hard for me to understand the way she thinks,
As she tries to justify all she does

Knowing she’s wrong,
But not being able to brush off all she says

Watching as she hurts not only me, but all those I love,
And hating her for it

She knows not what she does,
But I do

She is the one person I should love,
But I cannot find the strength

It’s more than just being a teen,
It’s being hurt
