They don't know

(Christopher Van Name)

In memory of Gabby Petito and anyone who is physically and emotionally beaten down and abused. No one should ever be made to feel that their love is rooted in fear and disrespect. No one. It's toxic. Leave.

They don't know
They don't understand
Why you stay
Why you don't run away
Why you don't leave this all behind
They don't know
What it feels like everyday
To worry if today's the day
He's gonna lose his mind
They don't know
They don't know

They don't know
What it's like to be afraid
For it to be this way
All the time
All the time
And they don't know
It's harder than they'll ever know
To find the strength to leave
Before it goes too far
To let go
They just don't know

Do they know
What it's like to hate yourself?
To lose faith in yourself?
To think you're no good for anyone else?
They don't know
And when you try to find
The answers in your pain
And only find yourself to blame
You're too ashamed to let them know
How could they know?

All you have to do
Is walk out that door
Go now
Don't look back
Don't come back for more
One day he'll go too far
Then they'll know
Then they'll know
