You've Forgotten

You've Forgotten ::~

You say you want to try again..
Promise this time will be the end..
And I'm paralyzed, wondering how..
you've forgotten...

I know that love is hard to find..
But if you love him, you are blind..
And deaf to every word I say..
leave me behind...

When he raised his hand
you weren't the only one
to hit the floor..
When he raised his voice
my hand was holding yours
behind the door..
And when you couldn't move
it was my voice, screaming,
“Please, no more.”

You say that we should try again..
I ask, “What for?”

Tell me that he has changed his ways..
He's turned to God, he even prays..
You say that you've both made mistakes,
well let's not today...

There's more then broken bones to heal..
And bruises that we both conceal..
Stop trying to block it from your mind,
like it wasn't real...

When he raised his hand
you weren't the only one
to hit the floor..
When he raised his voice
my hand was holding yours
behind the door..
And when you couldn't move
it was my voice, screaming,
“Please, no more.”

You say that we should try again..
I ask, “What for?”
