@kaymcclx
Always cold
While you'd self-incriminate
By avoiding all my questions
And calling me an instigator
Cut me down
Always calling me unstable
You so easily can make me cry
Just 'cause you are in a mood
And you'd say
Call me out
You would say I need attention
Just because I put on makeup
To ironically look good for you
Cut me to pieces
While you watched me disintegrate
Because you like to tell me how you hate
All the ways I'm not enough for you
Then you'd say
Baby don't go
I didn't know
I'll change I swear
I'll change I swear
Baby don't go
I'll make you wait
I promise I'll be better
All of these things they will change
Baby don't go
I didn't know
I'll change I swear
I'll change I swear
Baby don't go
I'll make you wait
I promise I'll be better
All of these things they will change
Never guilty
Say it ain't your fault
Because you had an emotionally abusive daddy
And 'cause of this you don't know how to act
Poor poor baby
Say you can't help the fact that you're so crazy
And you're so good at making me feel guilty
For trying to walk away
Because I'm tired of being mad
Then you'd say
Baby don't go
I didn't know
I'll change I swear
I'll change I swear
Baby don't go
I'll make you wait
I promise I'll be better
All of these things they will change
Baby don't go
I didn't know
I'll change I swear
I'll change I swear
Baby don't go
I'll make you wait
I promise I'll be better
All of these things they will change

You couldn't write this unless you had this experience. It's so fucked up you couldn't make it up but everyone from an abusive relationship could tell the exact same story.
People always ask why people don't just leave but this is why. They ruin your life, act like the victim and make you feel guilty. So much insight, i love her.
@scottroger5859
+Robird Well, don't be a cheater.
@EW-vz3ij
+Mr. Roger's ... people don't only get abused because they cheated...
@bethjessup5527
I tremendously agree!
@alrightythen6167
Rosie yes. If u ever been thru this u can never know the pain
@claudettellontop5
I'm guessing both sides could say the same thing. Both sides actually end up feeling abused.
@CheyBluexoxo
I was in an abusive relationship for 4 years both mental and physical and this song, brain, and explosions by Ellie Goulding literally got me out. I would listen to them over and over and cry and because I kept my relationship hidden as much as I could and not talked about it like I probably should have, these songs are like the shoulder I cried on that I needed. I will never fucking forget this song ever. Thank you Jillian ❤️
@Bexckers
I'm soooo truly, deeply, extremely proud and happy that you got out. <3 <3 <3
@bellyjar3020
