no one understands why
No, I’m not perfect
And yes I make mistakes,
But it’s all about the life I live and what I do to try and be perfect for you.
You never see how hard I really try to give you the respect you think you deserve.
Or how hard I try not to stand up for myself against you.
Yes it’s true
I have changed a lot for you.
People used to tell me how strong I was and they still do,
But what they don’t know is that I am in pain everyday
I hurt from all the mean things you say.
I am hurt from the inside out.
And yet the fact that you love me is never in doubt.
No one understands why I stay.
Everyone says they would have left already gone away.
And maybe they are right maybe my mind has gone astray.
Why else would I stay for all of this?
When I deserve so much more bliss.
But all I can tell them is that I love you, and that sometimes you have to take the bad with the good.
No matter how bad it hurts his arms are my home
