He showed her hatred soon after showing her love
Both of those collided and she saw just how jealous he had become
He wanted to keep her all to himself
And he spoke to her like she was a child under his control
She couldn't speak unless spoken to
He gave her bruises of black and blue
People saw her scars and asked her what happened
She made up lies to cover up his actions
Maybe he wouldn't hit me if I acted the part
I'd stop making him angry if I were smart
Those are the words she told herself because she thought all she could blame was herself
But all of that self blame led to her death
If only she packed up her things and left
