-i'M Only Human-

Fell head over heals at 17 He was my first love and first love He was larger than life, to me Thought this is the one What can I say, I'm only human He asked and I did He wanted and I gave I opened and was his don't remember exactly when time changed He got upset and I blamed me He screamed and I showed my fear I never thought to protect myself, I was his another day to you, but for me it changed my identity He threw that first blow, and I fell stunned He bruised my face, arms and body, and all I could say was "sorry" I didn't see it coming, I was his we were supposed to be happy, expecting our first baby He lied and I cried He cheated and I just looked the other way I stayed and put up with the abuse because I was his our daughter was six months old when time changed, again He yelled and beat me till I was bloody and blue, and I kept saying in my head "Hurry up and get it over with." He woke-up the baby and I knew, knew what he was about to do I tried to block that fist, but he connected with her and I was no longer his I fell out of love at the age of 20 He might of been my first, but he became my last He was no longer larger than my life He would never be that one Had to learn the hard way, I'm only human
