That's literally the whole point of the song sweetie. I don't know................and I don't wanna know.

What I do know is that "some things" happened cus I get flashes, but I push them away cus why would I want to know now?

Hi Kay-lynn,
here are my 5 cents: this is a serious, emotionally intelligent song. It's not about the abuse itself. It's more about the aftermath, the coping mechanism and the choice to live forward. The topic you write about can be deeply relatable and could therefore be triggering for some listeners.
The chorus is clear but could hit a bit harder. It leans more explanatory than emotional and in my opinion it lacks a sharp, unforgettable phrase. It should land like a truth, not just explain one.
As for the music, I feel it's too full for this topic. I personally would prefer a more minimal instrumentation so the listener can focus more on the lyrics, the message. The full music instrumentation distracts the listener. This is just my personal opinion. if you ask 10 people you'll probably get 10 different opinions. The song is more "the listener sits quietly and feels it" than "big audience singalong". I like it.

If you don't mind, I have a vision of how I think the music can emphasize your lyrics as is.
