omg now i know why my parents hated when i played this song,they so guilty of it all,no child should ever go threw such fuking hell,thanks to mine i never be same again,trust or love,they my hell every day in my mind,i relive hell every waking moment
With the daddys little girl dont tell mommy part.... ive seen my fair fair fair share of that side... it can be bad and cant be bad.. in my eyes depending on the child i dont see it abuse some of us like it some of us dont um im 14 see other girl in same place as me and some love it some dont but i find more like it now.. but it could be todays society..
I relate to this song in a total different manner. There is more than physical abuse. Although, physical pain is bad. The Mental infects that is caused by divorced parents. Are even maybe, a child never knowing there real parents. Growing up and going on that endless search for answers. Some find their lost parents. While other never do. They find they have deceased. And they are left to live out their lives. Wondering with questions never answered....... Why ? Why ? Was it me !
@TheCodysimpsonlovah Actually, this isn't about that. She said in a interview that she grew up in a small town and knew nothing about this, but when she went to new york there was alot of articles on child abuse so she wanted to write a song about how bad this is and how they get treated.
This is hard for any that have gone through the abuse. But, the song brings awareness to those that haven't. So many hear about child abuse from the news or from TV shows and it really isn't real to them. Something someone else may have had to go through. Pat brings it to life with her lyrics. She shows the unaffected that it IS real and calls them to help. How many will answer that call? I did. Will you?
If you don't understand the song, just ask a survivor. Most the time you won't get an answer, but the look you get is enough. We love the song but dang if we can't talk when we listen to it. I guess in a way it is good that some people don't understand the song.
@Migdalskis you misunderstood the meaning of the title. Abuse is very traumatic, it can be compared to a hell for what the children have to go through.
@Migdalskis This song is about child abuse and the hell children go through. I survived child abuse and domestic violence; my two oldest children survived child abuse by their so call 'father' after I told him to leave. I got tired of him abusing me; then, he abused my two oldest kids.
Listen to the song and the words. You should be able to figure it out.
grew up in the 80's and anyone with more than 2 brain cells to rub together, after listening to lyrics, knows that this song is clearly about child abuse. Same with the song by Suzan Vegas... My Name Is Lukas . Two great songs because they're speaking out about what most people try not to.
this song makes me cry cause i was abused (sexually) i am now 14 and all i can remember bout my childhood is me being touched and raped so now i have aids from that sick basterd!.
@funnyboysatwork92 im so sorry. I wouldnt know anything about that because i was with a wonderful family who loved me.I hope your life is much better now with a caring family.
i saw @american pop@ last night and the guy from the end goes down the street dancing to this song while he is dealing drgus, i just thought it was about partying ... kinda weird to find out that it is abut child abuse... goos song anyway ... i didnt think it was so sad i think ill be back to @money for nothing@
