You think I don't remember
All the nights of endless yelling
The fighting and the bickering
It seemed like there was never an ending
I know you don't know
But I remember it all
The beatings you took
As he pulled you up and down the hall
I hated you for not leaving him
You could of made things better
But no you stayed with that bastard
And we had to suffer
When you finally did it
I didn't exactly let you know then
But I saw something change in you
I think you knew you didn't let him win
I know you say you did it for us
But there was also a little part of it
You had to do for yourself
To know never again he would have the last hit
You've went from a woman
Who only struggled with her sins
To the mother I can only strive everyday
To have half the pride she carries with in
You've shown me that I can conquer
Anything thats thrown my way
So I'm waiting, I'm ready
Come whatever may
So if you think you can control me
Sorry you better think again
Cause now I know I don't have to stay
Shes taught me that I can win
