SHAWN MENDES hook

She would not show that she was afraid
But being and feeling alone was too much to face
Though everyone said that she was so strong
What they didn't know is that she could barely carry on

She just a child, why you tryna take advantage
Of the things she don’t know that society has established
Like... if ain’t love, then it ain’t right… wait!
People meeting, then they naked on the same night
And then you came along, and told her it’s a game
But then you told her, don’t be telling them, your name
She's barely developed, look at her frame
No, stop looking please, she's feel dirty, and full of shame
What did she do to deserve this, did she, talk back
Did she not do her chores, and take a long nap
Only to wake up to you... undoing her bra strap
Your gritty hand over her pretty mouth, STOP THAT!
She can’t move, but she's crying, can’t you spot that
Too busy yelling, "shut up bitch, I know you want that”
She still remembers the smell of cigarettes and Cognac
And all her boyfriends ever since, can feel your contact

She would not show that she was afraid
But being and feeling alone was too much to face
Though everyone said that she was so strong
What they didn't know is that she could barely carry on

Cuz of you, my lover can barely carry on
Even though we ran away together and got married young
She was more than ready, and I was very sprung
But on the night of our honeymoon, had me scared to cum
Cuz she told me she was broken, once I had her open
And she was hoping you would go away, her panic growing
That’s why she drinks the way she does, cuz it’s her magic potion
My mad emotions, taken over, by her sad devotion
Guilty like... She ain’t the victim what a drastic notion
Cried so many tears, she could drown the whole Atlantic Ocean
My crafts in motion, bout to take her, where she’s never been
To a level of understanding… cuz yet again
She showed her fear to me, the reason that I hold her dear
Try to let her know, I wanna see her old, I’m so sincere
She told me all she wants, is to be alone
Cuz her temple is haunted, and her demons home

She would not show that she was afraid,
But being and feeling alone was too much to face,
Though everyone said that she was so strong,
What they didn't know is that she could barely carry on
