You kept on pressing down as if my heart couldn't break at all As if the pressure you applied would not take it's heavy toll You kept on pressing down as if my body could absorb Every blow and every insult rebounding off your inner wars You kept on pressing down not believing I'd react But now it's me who's pressing down and you who's on your back

Pushback
You kept on pressing down as if my heart couldn't break at all As if the pressure you applied would not take it's heavy toll You kept on pressing down as if my body could absorb Every blow and every insult rebounding off your inner wars You kept on pressing down not believing I'd react But now it's me who's pressing down and you who's on your back
Domestic abuse is a greater problem in lockdown.
