Why I stayed
Why did I stay
When I fell to the ground
When his fist hit my mouth
When I bled
Why did I stay
When he said "sorry"
When he begged me
Not to leave him
I should have left him
Why did I stay
When i was late
When I got sick
In the mornings
Why did I stay
Cause he told me
he was happy
When he said it would change
Why did I stay
When I "tripped"
And wrapped an arm
Around my swollen waist
Why did I stay
When I bled.
And my baby bled
When my baby died
He said he was going to change
That it was going to change
That he loved.
That it would get better.
Now I'm asking myself.
Why did I stay?
