One slap, two slaps, three
It’s okay, it has been a bad day
He didn’t mean it
He loves me
One punch, two punches, three
Got a broken tooth and swollen nose
But he apologized and hugged me
He loves me
One hit, two hits, three
Blood covered the floor as I fall
I wanted to reach the door
I was so scared and
Wanted to leave
He doesn’t love me or does he?
One apology, two apologies, three
If I didn’t get back to him
He will **** me
He loves me, right?
One prayer, two prayers, three
I was ready for the day, he will **** me
The prayers never left my mouth
What can I do?
I was losing my mind over here
One lie, two lies, three
I love you baby, don’t leave me
I’ll change for you
Maybe it’s true this time
One scream, two screams, three
I just wanted someone to help me
Drowning in my blood
And my eyes were swollen
Just got hit again but I won’t leave the house
One kiss, two kisses, three
I woke up in the hospital as my mum kissed me
He told her I fell down the stairs, what a lie
She hugged me and told me
How much he was scared to lose me
One sentence, two sentences, three
I told her but she didn’t believe me
Where shall I go? What shall I do?
She should have believed me
One hug, two hugs, three
I was disgusted with every hug, he gave me
What have I done to myself?
Maybe all of that wouldn’t have happened if
I left from the beginning
One word, two words, three
Every word from my mum hurt me
I didn’t expect it
I didn’t see it coming
How can a mother not believe her daughter?
One idea, two ideas, three
I finally had the courage to leave
I ran away
Not psychologically okay now, but I will be
Don’t wait until it’s too late
