Against The Abuse

Love seems like it betrayed you
Don't know if you
Still have it in you
Times were hard
With him in your life
You had to run
Ran for your life

He wanted you to feel sorry for him
Constantly played the man, so he tried to break you
He made you afraid, he wanted to hurt you
But you just understand against the abuse

You can't do better

Trying to make you feel
I'm not mama I hated it
Worse than I ever hated it before
Because I was drunk at the wrong time

You took the pain
You didn't let your children see you helpless and torn
But what he did to you
You hid the scars
And you hid all your bruises
He went too far
He said he loved you

He wanted you to feel sorry for him
Constantly played the man, so he tried to break you
He made you afraid, he wanted to hurt you
But you just understand against the abuse

Hang on to the choice you made
Don't need to go through it no more
Man should never put his hands on you
So stay away
You can't do better

I was thinking
I was thinking about all the things that happened to me
But you hurt me more

You can't do better
You can't do better
You can't do better
You can't do better

He wanted you to feel sorry for him
Constantly played the man, so he tried to break you
He made you afraid, he wanted to hurt you
But you just understand against the abuse

Hang on to the choice you made
Don't need to go through it no more
Man should never put his hands on you
So stay away

You can't do better
You can't do better
