Leaving the abuse

I never thought I would do it,
never thought I would stay,
with someone who hit me day 2 day

All I can do now is sit and cry,
sit and ask myself why.

Why did I let you hurt me?
Was it because you always said we were ment to be?

Why didn't I just run away?
Was it because everytime I tried, you'd convince me to stay?

You told me you would change,
you would say, "I'll never do it again, " then once again, I would take you back and you would win.

I realize now it was all a lie,
you'd never stop hitting me,
I don't understand why.

You'll never know how much damage you've done,
but this time honey,
you have not won.

I'm putting back together my heart,
getting my life back,
I am making a new start.

Yes, you heard me,
I'm leaving you and all the abuse,
this lesson I will put to use.

I'll never make the same mistakes as I did with you,
I'm so relieved,
so glad,
you and I are through.
