IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK - written by Melinda

IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK,
WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY’D SAY?
WOULD THEY TELL TALES OF HOW YOU LOVED ME?
OR OF HOW YOU HURT ME DAY AFTER DAY?

IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK,
WOULD THEY TELL OF HOW I SCREAMED?
AS I HOPED SOMEONE WOULD SAVE ME
AS I BEGGED YOU, “STOP!” AND “PLEASE?”

IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK,
WOULD THEY SPEAK OF EVERY BRUISE?
OF ALL THE YELLING AND THE POUNDING?
WHY I WAS THE ONE TO LOSE?

IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK,
WOULD SOMEONE BELIEVE ME THEN?
WOULD THERE BE NO BLACK EYES AND BLUE TEARS?
WOULD I BE SAFE AND FREE AGAIN?

THESE WALLS HAVE SEEN SO MANY THINGS
THEY’VE SEEN ME HURT AND CRY
THEY COULDN’T STOP YOU FROM HITTING ME
AND NOW THEY’VE WATCHED ME DIE

IF ONLY THESE WALLS COULD TALK.
