I know you love him
but this is just unreal
I know he hurts you
because you tell him how you feel
he beats you
but still you let him stay
why do you put yourself through this
every single day
he threatens you
and takes it too far
I see the pain in your eyes
as you wish on a hopeless star
he controls your life
and just watches you fall
why do you except the I love yous
if he's never there at all
people tell you to kick him out
let him walk all over you
you always give in
and you know it's true
he gets angry,
you run and hide
why do you let him stay
if you know he lied
he sent you to the hospital
from breaking your bones
I could hear the fear in your voice
when you told me what happened on the phone
you told me you feared for your life
I said he'd never go through
you wouldn't wind up dead
after all he loves you
he gave you black eyes
and pushed you to the ground
when you were in a time of need
he was no where to be found
you said he wouldn't do it again
and I knew it wasn't true
he may say your the love of his life
but yet he still beats you
I never tried to stop him
you said you could fend for yourself
but when I saw you in the hospital again
I knew you needed my help
you said no, you could handle it
why wouldn't you let me take some of your pain
I was so sick and tired
of watching him do that over and over again
I gave him nasty notes
telling him to back off
that if he didn't
then I would call the cops
he threatened me
told me to be aware
I didn't want to face him
he knew I was too scared
I never took action
even though I knew I should
one day you would be dead
and I couldn't say I did what I could
I tried to help to get him away
I thought I was doing what was best for you
one day he got really angry
and he beat me up too
I started to back off
even though I knew what would happen that night
you would end up crying
after a long and nasty fight
I told myself if you cried once more
then I would risk my life
to get him away from you
and cause you no more strife
you came to my house crying that night
I knew I had to step in
he knew what he was doing
and you knew it was a sin
so I stood up to him
but I did it so he'd stop with you
I didn't want this to happen
I didn't know he'd strangle me till I was blue
I didn't know his threats were real
when he said you I'd no longer see
I really didn't think he'd do it
when he said he'd kill me...
