I know

(V1)
The cold day and apathy
Brought her to this place
She wanders around now
Where no one knows her face
Behind a man made wall
She hides all her pain
Smiling at strangers
She'll never see again
(C)
But I know what turned her
Into what she is today
I’m the only one who knows her
And knows she’s not the same
I know what changed her
It wasn’t the love of a man
He didn’t care that much for her
The day she finally ran
(V2)
She lives like a refugee
She’s free but still guarded
Still carries memories
Of life he bombarded
Behind her man made wall
Not letting others in
Smiling at strangers
Who don’t know where she’s been
(C)
But I know what turned her
Into what she is today
I’m the only one who knows her
And knows she’s not the same
I know what changed her
It wasn’t the love of a man
He didn’t care that much for her
The day she finally ran
(B)
She ran away to escape the shame
But the scars are still there
She once thought he loved her
But soon she became aware
She ran from his heavy hand
His harsh words are heard no more
Apathy was the price she paid
But her body’s no longer sore
(1/2 C)
I know what changed her
It wasn’t the love of a man
He didn’t care that much for her
The day she finally ran
