WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP!!!
 
 

Abuse, such a scary thought,
being subjected to fear and pain,
being isolated from your world,
will you ever be free again?

Why, why oh why?
Can't I get myself away,
break this spell I'm under,
just be gone one day.

Fear, fear oh fear,
for myself, for those I love,
he'll find and kill us all,
he swore by the heavens above.

What, what, what can I do?
How did I ever allow this to start,
out of love, honor and respect,
I loved him with all my heart.

He lies, cheats and puts me down,
doesn't respect me at all,
calls me some disgusting names,
pushes me, then asks, "why did you fall?"

Crazy, crazy, he's making me crazy,
I just can't take any more,
I just don't have to nerve to leave,
not after what he did before.

Friends, friends, where are my friends?
Now that I need them so,
but, oh yes, they tried to help,
I told them, "just leave me, and go."

Alone, alone, I'm so alone,
no idea what to do,
I know tonight when he's home,
he'll beat me, black and blue.

Pain, pain, I've had so much,
I don't even hurt any more,
many is the time I have,
just bled, and slept on the floor.

End, end, where does it end?
There he is at the door,
with his fist coming at my head,
now I don't think any more.
