You told me to listen You told me you would change I can't believe I listened I can't believe I stayed Now my bruises are your fingertips My laughter has faded away Our memories are jaded, I can't believe I stayed My face is your canvas You like to paint with your fists You drag your fingers across my skin This is not your passion, This is my pain I love to see your laughter I love to see your gain Sometimes I think This may be why I stayed But then you raise your hand Your face twisted with fury I suddenly awake Jump up S C R E A M "PLEASE DON'T HURT MY JAMES"

Why I Stayed
You told me to listen You told me you would change I can't believe I listened I can't believe I stayed Now my bruises are your fingertips My laughter has faded away Our memories are jaded, I can't believe I stayed My face is your canvas You like to paint with your fists You drag your fingers across my skin This is not your passion, This is my pain I love to see your laughter I love to see your gain Sometimes I think This may be why I stayed But then you raise your hand Your face twisted with fury I suddenly awake Jump up S C R E A M "PLEASE DON'T HURT MY JAMES"
