He hit me again today,
                                                                  he tells me
                                                   he's sorry-
                      it will never happen again.
                            
                           I laugh
                                    because I know
                   it's less painful
                                            than crying.

                                                                          Who am I kidding?
                                                      I deserved it.
                                                             No.
                                             That is wrong.
  
    But if it was wrong
                     why did it feel so easy?
                                                                        If it was wrong
                                                                             why
                                                                                  am I still here
                                                          when I know
                                                                 full well
                                                   it will happen again...

        I know
when it does
            he will lie to me once more
    and swear to me
                    it will never
                           happen again.
                                              
                                                            The radio blares
                                                     is this love
                                                                               that I'm feeling?
              They will never
                         understand
           that he only hits me
                                       because
                        he loves me.
