Slowly killing me


we've known each other Since we were five Now its the middle of november We see each other for the first time You tell me you love me And you want me to be your wife Cant you see youre slowly killing me Those things you tell me They hurt unbelivably I like a fool said yes I thought i knew you you see Then you hit me and i knew Youre slowly killing me In the dead of night i ran away Took him to court the very next day Got sole custody of our baby Cant you see youre slowly killing me Ran all the way to LA Became a street urchin I was only twenty I met a man there my he is fine Rich as hell and good looking as well He told me he would care for me and my baby Wanted me to be his wife I said yes again aint i a fool Cant you see Youre slowly killing me With your sweet talking words I will never be a part of your world I really am a bad judge of character Because he was just as bad He hit me harder than i thought he would Ran away again this time with two Took him to court Got sole custody Cant you see Youre slowly killing me All these bruises and scars are proof im tough But not tough enough I ran away to Idaho I dont know why It just seemed a nice place to go I met a man there he promised to love me Never hurt me I told him he was lying good try Cant you see Youre slowly killing me I guess i like being punched in the face Because i keep losing this race I married him too He didnt hurt me he was good to me The other men found out where i was They came and killed him Tried to kill me I ran with my three babies to The parish down the street They sheltered me I remember the last thing he said to me I guess that will be ingrained in my memory He told me He loved me and all three babies I knew i had to avenge him so i did I killed them both i did Now im insane Locked up in a room With nothing around no hope all doom My children with my mother Safe and sound Didnt you know....... You all killed me.
