Don’t you hate it when you have an argument And to you he’s violent and mean Till all of a sudden company shows up And somehow, he flips the whole scene Sitting outside laughing and chatting While you sit in a room, all alone Tears slowly streaming down your face Black eye forming, blood on your mouth This isn’t the first time things got physical You’ve always hidden it in the past So the abuse kept going on for years Since he kept getting a free pass Today I think I’ll show them who he is I think I’ll go outside I’m not gonna stay in the house this time I’m not gonna run and hide I’m tired of this abuse I gotta leave him now I’m glad our friends are here I’m gonna need some help getting out I walked outside Blood on my mouth, black, swollen eye Their conversation stopped abruptly All I could do was cry Our friends flocked to me Hugging me as we got in their car All he could do was look stupid And walked back in the house Some of the fellas went in there to talk to him But I didn’t stay to listen I finally got the guts to leave I never looked back for what was missing I walked away from my pain that day I never even came back for my clothes I want no memory of what we used to be I just wanna keep moving forward I still love him Sounds crazy, I know But I love myself more That’s why I had to let him go
