about

From the perspective of a wife beater

lyrics

Do you remember when you were just fifteen years old
when I met you
How could I forget you, how could I forget you.
You remind me of sunrise you’re so soft and sweet
But the moonlight is dark and it’s hard
But I won’t lose control. I won’t lose control, Oh no.
But why do you never reach your hand out to me anymore

After all that we’ve been through
I have no intention to leave you
I don’t want to hurt you. I would never hurt you.
Oh, but I come home and you’re gone
The baby’s still crying and you should have been home
Over an hour ago. Now where are you?
Why do you never reach your hand out to me any more

Well, I don’t mean to hurt you, but girl it just comes so naturally
Oh, it’s a thing for me. I could never remedy.
Well, without me you’re nothing, you need me and after all,
You would never let yourself walk away. You can’t walk away.

But why don’t you smile any more
When I say …
I love you
Would I do this if I didn’t love you
Would I do this if I didn’t love you
Would I do this if I … did not love you

This smoky hotel room
With cracks in the ceilings and stains on the bedsheets
You are nothing without me, you’re nothing without me
