Why
You have a black eye, your family asks what happened, and you make up some
lie.
You don’t go around because now you’re ashamed, and all the while he tells
you, you’re the blame
His words tear away your hopes and the beatings drown your dreams.
The things he puts you through are not just cruel, they’re down right
mean
You no longer have any friends, you don’t even believe in yourself
Right now you don’t even love you let alone someone else
Take a minute think: you are not the blame; there is no reason
To be ashamed; Stop the violence, walk away from the abuse
You don’t have put up with the pain, or make an excuse
You are not the blame, so don’t dare be ashamed
He does not deserve your love, for he doesn’t have love
For himself, that’s why he goes through life belittling, fighting,
totally mistreating someone else. You have to realize you are
the stronger of the two. His only strength is in the misery
that he causes you
