Sitting here drowning in my tears
With no one to hear my screams
They don't want to get involved so they claim
Or just don't care so it seems
Loving you has taking atoll on me
No amends can be made
I was so blind to love you see
I needed strength, to above I pray

Was it something I said or did I wear my hair the wrong way
Did not have to hurt me that way
You know you were wrong
Is it someone at work or did you have a bad day
Either way I can not let this go on

I have lived all my life in fear
Should I have to hurt for the pain inside of you?
To spare my child, I've held most of it in
I can still see its affecting her too
I just want to get through one more night
I must flee First mornings light

I can't stand to see the pain in her eyes
When she asks Mommy why do you cry
I can't tell cause she won't understand
That to hurt me makes you A Better Man
