Like a knife in the chest you stabbed me.
Hurting me to the point of death.
I felt alone with no one to turn to
And alone I sucked in my last breath.
You carried a smile while others were looking.
A hidden face no one else could see.
And the truth was revealed when all left us.
When it was just the two of you and me.
The hand marks on my face disappeared quickly
Without stirring up wondering in its path.
Cause you always gave reason to hit me
I was forever the cause of your wrath.
I never should have held back that laugh
When you told the funniest joke at the meeting.
And when I dropped the tray of drinks on your lap
I clearly and fully deserved that beating.
I had it coming was all you said to me.
And for three years that was all I would believe.
Then one day I got tired of feeling
The pain of the bruises you had left me.
I had enough of the beatings and screaming.
And the embarrassment was more than enough
You apologize with sorries and "I love you"s
But for once I refuse to fall for your bluff.
My hands are up for the fighting.
Surrendering is the last on my mind.
I won't leave the mystery unsolved
Or ignore the pain that was left behind.
I want you to cry like I had cried
Feel the way I lived all my days with you.
And putting this .45 to the temple of your head
Giving you my pain is what I'll do.
I'm passing the torch of this misery
To the guilty party of my sorrow.
So bang, bang is the last sound you'll hear.
And no light will be seen tomorrow.
