I still get nightmares from the nights that would never end
The fighting
The lying
As I laid there in my bed
I could hear it all from my room right next to yours
Every single word and every single hit
Each one like bullets on her skin
It might be difficult for you to try and understand
Just what you did and just what you said
You know how easy it is for her to forgive you
And you take advantage cuz you think you’ll never run out of chances
And I
couldn’t do anything
at the time
Left defenseless in my home
Lit a match
Blew a fuse
No where left to confide
Cuz the monster came from inside
Dry tears lay across my face
Sink into my skin
That you painted blue
From all the times you felt that hitting a kid
Was exactly what you needed to make you feel big
The blood would run
The marks would scar
And that little boy never knew what he did wrong
To deserve all that pain
To deserve all that hatred
As he laid there crying over what your mistake did
And I
couldn’t do anything
at the time
Left defenseless
in my home
Lit a match
Blew a fuse
No where left to confide
Cuz the monster came from inside
