Truth Hurts

Lyrics

[female vocal]: Spoke the truth, but his lies turned on me, Punished with a tsunami, of hate and abuse. Ignored the action, judged my reaction. My crazy, his excuse. [male vocal]: Don't take her seriously. Emotionally draining. Keeps saying the same thing. Just Look at yourself... An Emotional distraction, overreacting, dramatising, move on, just ignore him, stop your constant crying, it's exhausting, can't listen, you're jealous, you're obsessing, he moved on, just let him. [female vocal]: Let him manipulate, use lies to implicate, laugh at my mental state, caused by his abuse and hate, how long should I wait, we all have a limit, but what would you know, you don't have to live it, You get to go home, unwind, relax, sleep without fear, without facing the impact, anticipate his attack, to stop me fighting back, i stood up for myself, now deserve what I get, but I should get over it? move on, just forget, keep going till when, I have nothing left, Sounds fair, sounds reasonable, feasible to ignore... [Sound Effect: 3 bangs on a door] [Angry Male]: Let me in, open the door, you're not keeping me out anymore. [desperate female]: Please go away, please leave me alone, just stop, please, I've got the guards on the phone. [Angry Male]: No one believes you, you're crazy, they believe me, I'll tell them you tricked me, tried to seduce me, but I pushed you away, [female vocal]: I'm begging you to stop, if only for the kids sake, [Angry Male]: I'll make you pay, trying to portray that you're brave.... [Narrator]: The door opens, She sees his black eyes, his jaw clenched, that terrifying smile. She's seen it before, frozen, can't fight any more, closer His hand reaches out. Covers her mouth. Her body body can't shout, can't beg for help, starts squeezing her neck, she tries to breathe but there's no air left, closes her eyes, calm now instead.... A Silence tgat can be felt... [Angry Male]: Wake up, open your eyes, I know it's fake, trying to make me look bad again, you deserve what you get, you made me do it, you made me angry, should have stayed quiet, they'll believe you made me, convinced them you're crazy, how dare you try to expose me, now look what you did, look what you've done, shouldn't have tried to fight me, look at me, I won. Now wake up, stop pretending, I know you're not gone, I didn't squeeze for that long, didn't squeeze it that strong. You should have stopped me, look what have you done. [Narrator]: The weakness of the narcissist, accountability, doesn't exist, blame anything to carry it, just DON'T BLAME ME , Predictable excuses, crying reduces, the pure evil inside, [Angry Male]: I did what I thought was right, I swear I tried, can't do anything right, my mother ruined my life, my sister broke my heart, my wife tore my family apart, I tried to apologise, said I loved her more than life, rejected me every time, tried to tell me what I couldn't do, recorded me searching through her room, how dare she, I wouldn't have if I knew, should have told me there were cameras in her room, I was desperate to prove what I thought i knew, what was I supposed to do, does she think I'm a fool, I'll show her she'll regret what she's putting me through, I'll make her jealous, she'll beg me to come back, told her I met women, but she didn't react, made up another still didn't ask me back, pretended the texts were from someone I met, why won't she ask me to quit, so brought one she knows back to my home, she said I should give it a go, told me relax when I said I was bored, couldn't listen to her talk anymore, just laughed, said I'd be fine, asked that I just give her time. Put a plan in place to make her realise, she really wanted to be mine, make her want me back, ignore everything she asked, make her react, make her sorry she wouldn't take me back. [Narrator]: Still believe She was exaggerating, was it just her imagination, isolation, blame the drinking, obsessive overthinking, obviously Attention seeking. She wasn't dramatic, she was grieving, you believed his lies, what were you thinking, you failed to see the pain she was feeling. You never saw the blackness in his eyes, you didn't feel the hate in him rise. You will never know, what it feels like, when there's no breath left inside. Are you ashamed, you walked away, left her to fight. Alone, until her body went cold..... Narcissistic Abuse, why is it so hard for you, to believe it aims to be cruel, hard to understand, couldn't be true, why didn't she leave, if really that bad, hard to believe, the hold he had, she always had the loudest laugh, how could you act like that, if what she says is true, why now, whats she trying to do. Are you listening to yourself, not once did you offer to help, questioning the victim, why isn't anyone looking at him, questioning his actions, asking him why he's lying, asking why he's trying, to make everyone think he's innocent, asking what are his motives, only reacted when she told us, but it's too late, too late
