I'M Sorry

she always said it aint that bad
it's not like my mom and dad
it was just a push just a shove
it's not that bad we still have love

the time before he took it a little far
he gave her a black eye in the car
he said he was sorry he would stop
just so she wouldnt call a cop

the next time it was a little worse
so you fell down said the nurse
she tried to hide it so people wouldnt see
how bad he has been to her how bad he can be

her family and friends began to wonder
why she let him take her under
now her family and friends sit and cry
he beat her this time to make her die
