Tainted love

I lay awake and watch him sleep
so peaceful so serene
hard to believe this man i love
would ever be so mean

i could gaze into his gorgeous eyes
and beg him to do just do right
but he'll get mad and raise his fists
his response is just to fight.

and he'll whisper words of comfort
when he fears ill really leave
he'll kiss me softly & hold me tight
til he's sure that i believe

lonely days and silent nights
what happened to my life?
what happened to my happy ending?
now all that lies ahead is strife.
