i love you but...


I love you

But i have to go

13 years in this black snow

I'm tired of the bullshit

Always blaming me

When i know nothing

Crazy cuz i gave you everything

Now i'm sitting here asking myself what i did so wrong

For you to hit me to the beat of this sad song

Always having to cover for you when i'm around family

But they know i was lying

Now i'm under the bed hiding

Cause i know you get home at 7 and won't leave again until 11

So i hid because my face can't take another beaten

I'm tired and if i try to leave you threaten to kill me

Then say this is only because you love me

And i laugh and say i love you to

But then i turn around and my eye is black and blue
