Broken promises and broken bones;
Makeup to cover her scars.
He beats her, yet she won't accept the fact
That only leaving will keep her in tact.

He'll hit her, then confess his love.
She'll fall for him all over again.
Every time she's bruised and battered,
He doesn't mind that her heart's been shattered.

She can make excuses for him,
And she'll continue in doing so.
They will be to no avail...
The bruises tell a different tale.
