Forever Marked

I should have seen it all, but I ignored the signs
Unable to lift the veil and peer behind
I should have heard the hurt in your voice
But it fell on deaf ears, drowned out by noise
I should have seen it all, but I ignored the signs
Unable to lift the veil and peer behind
I should have seen the pain in your eyes
But I was entranced by a snake whispering lies

It felt so horrible for me to face the truth
I can't imagine how it must have felt for you
All alone with this pain and abuse
Behind closed doors left battered and bruised
It's unbearable, how I couldn't see
The the bloody writings on the wall
It's unbearable, how I didn't know
I was being corrupted by evil

I should have seen it all, but I ignored the signs
Unable to lift the veil and peer behind
I should have heard the hurt in your voice
But it fell on deaf ears, drowned out by noise
I should have seen it all, but I ignored the signs
Unable to lift the veil and peer behind
I should have seen the pain in your eyes
But I was entranced by a snake whispering lies

I hope you know that I see it all now
I'll never stand idly by again, a bittersweet vow
I refuse to be blinded again
My soul is forever marked by the evil I let in

I know these scars will forever stay
And these memories they won't fade away
They'll haunt us all till the end of our days
The blood is on his hands, but we're the ones who pay

These memories they won't fade away
They'll haunt us all till the end of our days
I feel sick at the thought of it
I fucking hope that he's suffering
Nothing will excuse what he did
I can't forgive myself for not seeing it

I should have seen it all, but I ignored the signs
Unable to lift the veil and peer behind
I should have heard the hurt in your voice
But it fell on deaf ears, drowned out by noise
I should have seen it all, but I ignored the signs
Unable to lift the veil and peer behind
I should have seen the pain in your eyes
But I was entranced by a snake whispering lies
