Love Hurts? - October 1998

A strong man with striking hands The father of my child I just can’t seem to understand What it is that makes him wild I only suffer once in a while When I do it lasts forever Makes me wonder why the hell We’re wasting time together I’m scared to leave, what can I do He killed my self esteem To have a love that’s true and real Seems like a far off dream He took away my dignity My self esteem, my pride Sometimes I’d rather not go home Just run away and hide But that’s just it, the problem I have no where to go He’s taken all my friends away He has all the control Everything he says, I do I’m scared and weak you see I thought that I could handle it Won’t someone please help me? I hope it’s not too late for me To turn my back and run Far from him is where I’d go Searching for someone Someone to treat me with respect Though not sure I deserve As long as there’s no beatings And he didn’t have the nerve Please accept this cry for help Do with it what you can Help me find a place to go And love a better man
