He Didn'T Mean It
We all want the best for you
We all want you to be happy
So they have layed you out on a stone alter
Sacrificing you for the better
Arms legs stretched
Looking to the heavens
For a way out of this
I am what I am
I cannot change this
Many times I have tried
I promise you but this
I cannot live without him
Weather I'm happy or sad
He didn't hit me that hard
Look the bruise is almost gone
He said he won't do it again
You don't know him like I do
He was abused as a child
He only acts out when he's been drinking
I promise he won't do it again
Don't make me leave him
I love him
He's all i got
I promise he doesn't mean it
Today this hospital is quiet
See mum
my ribs will heal soon
Then ill go home
