Blood and Tears
His mouth says that he loves you
His hands say that he hates you
What caused him to beat you this time
Did you stay out too late with your girlfriends?
Did he think that you were cheating?
How many times does he have to hit you before you understand his true
feelings for you
Blood and tears is the only way that this love will end

How many times does he have to say,"I'm sorry".
How many times will you forgive him
Why does he hit you so often and so hard?
We protect the ones that we love
If he loved you, he would not treat you the way that he does
Why do you have to prove your love with blood and tears?

How many more ribs must he break?
How many more stitches for your lips?
How many more casts for your arms?
How many more black eyes?
How much more blood and tears to prove your love?

Sunday I stopped by your grave
I brought white roses
they were always your favorite
Now you can finally rest
Blood and tears will no longer kiss your face
