We met in 2004, he waited for me at the door
He was nervous, looked around
And then he kissed me, I was found
I'm mostly like everyone else
My friends are kind, I'm in good health
I like to dance when I'm at home
I like to dance

We were so in love, my friends were jealous of me
He held me close, I felt at home and I had always felt alone
And he got angry sometimes, he's only angry sometimes
He shouts at me and I shout back, I have always been like that
I just wish he'd stop
I just wish he'd stop
I just wish he'd stop

The first time he pushed me over, walked past, he smashed my phone
I didn't know what to say next, do you know what you would do next?
We'd been together for six years, we'd held each other through our tears
I yelled at him, he cried in fear, he didn't want to be like this
I just wish he'd stop
I just wish he'd stop
I just wish he'd stop

Please don't feel sorry for me, I don't want your pity
I want to run through rivers and smile, I want to sing right through the night
You scream, "Why don't you leave?!"
My kids are two and three, I just can't pay for what they need
We both know he'd find me
I just wish he'd stop, hitting me
