What domestic violence does to kids..
THEY "FELL IN LOVE",
SO THEY SAY.
THEY LAUGHED, THEY CRIED,
AND TOGETHER THEY PLAYED.

THEN I CAME ALONG,
AND THINGS GOT ROUGH.
NOW MY DADDY BEATS MY MOMMY,
SHE ISN'T VERY TOUGH.

THE YELLING AND THE SCREAMING
IS TURNING ME INSANE.
IGNORING THEM IS REALLY HARD,
THE TEARS THEY FALL LIKE RAIN.

DON'T THEY UNDERSTAND?
INSIDE, HOW I FEEL?
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.
THAT THOUGHT, IT GIVES ME CHILLS.

SCHOOL NOW IS OVER,
I WALK AWAY REAL SLOW.
HOME'S NOT WHERE THE HEART IS,
BUT THERE'S NOWHERE ELSE TO GO..
