Abuse

I've been ditching school along with the guys
I got in some trouble and I told me some lies
My daddy found out and he took off his belt
And he left me with 7 long nasty welts
You see my daddy loved me so much that it hurts
I think he cracked a few ribs for talking in church
Then my momma came around to make it all better
She tried to comfort me but my daddy wouldn't let her

He never hit my brother as long as I was there
I'd just piss him off worse cause I didn't care
You don't hit my brother, you don't hit my mom
For me that rule number one
I know my grandpa was very hard on my dad
I guess he passed it on down when he got mad
The secrets in our family, the ones that we won't face
One day it's all going to come out
If you keep punching me in my face

So I stay in my room and live in my head
It's not like I'm wishing that my daddy was dead
You see we're much alike, I even got his name
I know his anger, and I can feel his pain
I'll say a prayer for him, I'll say a prayer for you
I'm already picking the college that I'm going to
I wont love you with my fists
I wont hurt you with these lips

MY LOVE WILL NEVER EVER HURT YOU
MY LOVE WILL NEVER PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE
MY LOVE WILL NEVER THROW YOU ACROSS THE ROOM
MY LOVE WILL NEVER BE ABUSE
