I know the stories that you tell I have them memorized so well I take you at face value Every time You're everything I want You're nothing I could hate Hope you don't hesitate Will you be mine? **I see the electric sunshine I see the electric sunshine I see the electric sunshine** In your eyes It's nothing but a bruise It doesn't mean abuse It's just a disagreement I'll be fine He still loves me the same He tells me it's okay He knows just what to say Every time **I see the electric sunshine The mask you hide behind I see the electric sunshine** In your eyes I know the stories that you tell I know they're just pathetic spells You thought I'd fall for it Every time You're no longer what I want You're everything I've come to hate Now your gone for good and I know I'll be fine ***I saw the sunshine in your eyes The light you flipped on with a switch And when it turned out to be lies I turned into a ***** And I cut the cord to the ties that bound I'm happy without electric sunshine now I've seen the light without you*** I let it shine

Electric Sunshine (domestic violence poem)
I know the stories that you tell I have them memorized so well I take you at face value Every time You're everything I want You're nothing I could hate Hope you don't hesitate Will you be mine? **I see the electric sunshine I see the electric sunshine I see the electric sunshine** In your eyes It's nothing but a bruise It doesn't mean abuse It's just a disagreement I'll be fine He still loves me the same He tells me it's okay He knows just what to say Every time **I see the electric sunshine The mask you hide behind I see the electric sunshine** In your eyes I know the stories that you tell I know they're just pathetic spells You thought I'd fall for it Every time You're no longer what I want You're everything I've come to hate Now your gone for good and I know I'll be fine ***I saw the sunshine in your eyes The light you flipped on with a switch And when it turned out to be lies I turned into a ***** And I cut the cord to the ties that bound I'm happy without electric sunshine now I've seen the light without you*** I let it shine
