Dearest mother
won't you listen to your daughter?

Don't assume
I'm safe up in my room,

I'm hearded around like cattle
You think I'm not fighting this battle

He gave me this pretty ring
more like a broken wing

I don't want to be his wife
if he'll be controling my life

My family may not care
And I'll just grin and bare

All the pushing and shoving
when all it should be is loving

Waiting for the next blow
I beg him not to use the hoe

All the times I've lied
I was only trying to hide

The only thing you can trust
one day you'll turn to dust.
