How could you sit there and blame me?
I only wanted to show I cared.
You told me that's the way to do it.

He would beat until I bleed.
Then rape me as I slept.
And when I cried you would say,
"You only hurt the ones you love."

He killed my kitty in front of me,
I was cut by him with a knife.
Then slape for being dumn.
And when I cried you would say,
"You only hurt the ones you love."

In a dark room I was locked.
For a week he let me starve.
In a fire he burnt my hand.
In my mind I tried to stay.
And when I cried you would say,
"You only hurt the ones you love."

So one day I took a gun
Then shot him in the back.
I took a dagger and took out an eye.
The cut his throat so he couldn't scream.

Now as you stand there, yelling at me,
screaming how I'm crazy and how you loved him.
As the cuffs come around my wrist
I turn back and say,
"You only hurt the ones you love."
And for once I didn't cry.
