How Could I ?

How could I- the strong one, let a man run my life?
How could I-the "that won't happen to me girl" let a man run my life?
How could I-the brave one, be so scared?
How could I-the tough one, be so weak?
How could I let him hit me, and not do a thing about it?
How could I let him hit me and still tell him that I love him?
How could I tell my friend to leave her boyfriend because he choked her, and then 
go home and let my boyfriend punch, kick me, stomp me and belittle me?
How could I let something like this happen to be. HOW COULD I ?
