He loves me... I can tell by the way he smiles at me, He loves me... I can tell by the way he looks at me, He scars me... With a single word he shoots me down, He drowns me, With words of sweet nothingness . But I know. Yes I know... He'll never leave, *** I know he loves to torture me the most, He Loves me... I can tell by the way my face has swelled, But he loves me. I can tell by the shades of purples and green, He calls me.... Only to soothe his own shame & guilt. And drowns me... In a sea of liquor so he can have his way with me. But I..... I stay. *** I know nothing more.... Than this life of misuse and abuse. But he loves me! I can tell by his apologies, But he loves me.... I can tell by the dozen roses he sent to me. Oh he chokes me..... With the same hands that once comfort me, And he burns me, Faster than a house on fire. But he loves me....... He can be violent, harsh, and sweet, And I spend my days walking on a wire, But he loves ME!! I can tell by the way he says: "IM SORRY."
