Just Who He Can Be

Scared to leave the house,,, ''who did you see?''
heart racing when he screams,,, ''you're cheating on me!!''
cold sweaty hands,,,, ''I've been warned about you!!''
closing my eyes,,,, ''I know what you been up to!!''

Cowering when he shouts,,, ''who's that on your phone??''
turning away,,,, ''I'll find out, you know!!!''
wanting to cry,, I've done nothing wrong,
but inside he knew this, he knew all along.

Timing me traveling, to shops and to school, 
''think im stupid dont ya, you think im a fool!!!''
Rushing around as fast as I can, 
ending up stuck in traffic, this is really bad.

Things getting smashed, all my personal things, 
'I'm sorry, I'm sorry,''  the song he always sings.
Blames the red mist, or what I'm wearing,
anything but him, pretends hes now caring.

Give it 2 days, or even a week,
he'll hurt me again, for daring to speak.
not on my face though, cause people might see,
cant show the public, just who he can be.
