Why? Why did she stay? Was it for love or for bills to be paid?
Why stay? What did he say? Why stay when your kids are in pain? How did she think it’s just her? It’s hurting her kids, what could they do?
She should have known she could choose, she should have known that she had
Why didn’t she leave him that day? Reject all his sorrys and be on her way
Staying there was just the wrong way, for the rest of their lives they’ll continue to pay
Always coping, walking the edge
Still in that house, inside of my head
Always in fear, walking on shells
Frightened child until I am dead
I cant have a child of my own, abuse and dysfunction is all that I’ve known
I wont have a child of my own, abuse and dysfunction is all that I’ve known
Why did things stay like my past?
Why did I stay while in pain?
How could I let him force me that way?
Was it my choice, had I been trained?
I cant have a child of my own, abuse and dysfunction is all that I’ve known
I wont have a child of my own, abuse and dysfunction is all that I’ve known
Abuse begets abuse, you’re not trapped, it’s your life so choose Abuse begets abuse, don’t let fear change your views
Abuse begets abuse, self-worth is a lot to lose
Abuse begets abuse, with or without a bruise
Abuse begets abuse, your kids cant, so you have to choose
Abuse begets abuse, don’t blame it on the booze
Abuse begets abuse, there is no good excuse
Abuse begets abuse, just stand tall and refuse
Abuse begets abuse, you’re not trapped it’s your life so choose
