Hush Now

Hush Now

Hush now, don't you see there's no need to worry
You'll never again have to deal with the pain that's kept you hurting
Remember that time your dad hit your mom and you grabbed my hand and yelled hurry
We were running so fast until it seemed everything around us became blurry
Then all of a sudden your dad ran out screaming, "Come back here, you Cowards"
Yet, we remained still and just hid there for hours
You sat there with your head on my chest, crying out loud
I wanted to ease your pain but no words came out my mouth
I just kept asking myself, "How could a girl live through so much drama?"
"How could your dad ever hit you or your mama?"
After that day, we became closer than ever
Somehow we were able to connect through the pain we though would never leave
Or at least that was what we were led to believe
Yet, it seemed as the days went by and the years began to past
Our friendship had somehow become too good to last
All of a sudden you started shutting down
You became a different person whenever I came around
I hated the fact things were different than they used to be
You came up one day and said, "There are just some things I don't want you to see."
I shook my head and you started to speak but I stopped you with a single sound
I grabbed your hand, looked deep into your eyes, and whispered, "Hush now"

Now when I wake up, I'm filled with pain I can't bare
I walk up to my window, look out, and just stare
I should have been a better friend for I feel I failed that test
I know I was a good one but I should have been the best
Maybe if I had your life wouldn't have become such a mess
Now that's all I think of and I'm unable to rest
Hush now. I want you to forget about all of your pain
If you just let it go your life will never be the same
You can be happy now for you've finally stopped your tears
Your pain has ended while mine becomes more severe
For I would have traded lives with you if I'd known I could have saved
The pain and hate I felt the moment they placed you in your grave
Now when I stand at my window, I look up at the sky
Upset because I was never given the chance to say good-bye
I hope you're at peace and happiness is what you've found
Rest Little Angel...it's finally over...hush now.
