Don'T Ever Raise Your Voice At Me

Don’t ever raise your voice at me
Don’t ever raise your hands at me
Or swing at her
You know how this always turns out
Me in the hall
You with your arms all around me
Me opened up
You surrounding my body
Me with my tears
You with your fears
And my makeup on your brand new sweater
And now that it’s done
I know we’ve become so much better
