lyrics

Verse 1:
My dad was abusive
My mother turned a blind eye
She knew I was hurting
But she didn’t take a stand by my side
I wish I knew how my life
Was gonna end up then
If I could travel back in time
I’d tell myself “self, you’ll be fine”

Hook 1:
I’d give ‘em hope
I’d make ‘em smile
I’d keep ‘em company
Just for a little awhile
I’d mend his wounds and I’d free his soul
Yo I’d call his dad a fuckin’ fat asshole
Yo I’d hit ‘em back I’d break his fuckin’ nose
‘Cause nobody fucks with me no more
Yo I’d cut ‘em down just like he did me
I wouldn’t offer the man no fuckin’ sympathy

Chorus 1:
And now my life’s better
And now that doesn’t matter
‘Cause I’m no longer battered
And my daughter don’t get hit I wont let her

Verse 2:
My boyfriend was abusive
And he didn’t treat me right
He was such a druggie
He didn’t know how to prioritize
I barely ever seen him
And when I did all we did was fight
If I could erase what I felt
I’d have realized that I’d be fine

Hook 2:
I’d give ‘em hope
I’d make ‘em smile
I’d keep ‘em company
Just for a little awhile
Yo I’d mend his wounds and I’d free his soul
I’d call his fuckin’ man a pill-poppin’ ho
Yo I’d hit ‘em back I’d break that fuckers nose
‘Cause nobody fucks with me no more
Yo I’d cut ‘em down just like he did me
I wouldn’t offer the fuck no fuckin’ sympathy

Chorus 2:
And now my life’s better
And now that doesn’t matter
‘Cause I’m no longer battered
My boyfriends don’t get hit ever

Chorus 1:
And now my life’s better
And now that doesn’t matter
‘Cause I’m no longer battered
My daughter don’t get hit I wont let her

Chorus 2:
And now my life’s better
And now that doesn’t matter
‘Cause I’m no longer battered
My boyfriends don’t get hit ever

about

Bradley Voorhees East Syracuse, New York

Who doesn't enjoy an interesting indie artist? Am I good, am I bad? Who knows. Guess we'll all have to wait and see. Yes, "we" 'cause not even I know myself anymore. I think that really comes out in the tunes though. Who knows, perhaps it may be you who can help solve a mystery? Yeah, I like a lot of retro television :D But I'll be there for you, if you're there for me too! Ha ... more
