Stand By Your Man
Unhealthy support for an abusive spouse,
Standing beside him, like a mouse.
Making excuses for what he has done,
'His Mental illness is what it's from'.
'He would never intentionally do this to me',
'You just don't know him, and cannot see'.
'It was my fault it happened, I made him mad',
'It wasn't on purpose, see look he is sad'.
So I stand by my man, even though,
What I really need to do is go.
