Over and Over Again

Can’t stop the beatings,
Can’t stop the pain,
Every night he does it to me,
Over and over again

I don’t know what I did
To deserve this life I live
Every night I cry alone
Wanting some place to call my loving home

I beg and pray for help
Every time I get a chance to call out
Yet no one hears
No one even cares
They don’t see the bruises or the burns
It’s like a carousel that always turns -
And never stops.

Why should this happen to me?
Why should I live?
Why should I always feel the pain?
To know that tomorrow night… it will
Happen all over again…
