Restriction, conviction of the heart
so it starts
Obsession, the lesson you learn
will burn
in your mind all the tim
Control has got a hold on the mold
you try to break
The mistakes you make
leaves you trembling
You feel alone in your home
though your partner is there
despair when they're near
The verbal, physical and, emotional abuse
what's the use in hanging around?
Stand your ground
refrain, break the chain or remain the same
broken spirit, don't you get it?
The time has come
to take a stand and demand
the respect they wrecked
when they shattered your soul
And left a hole where your heart
used to be
Get back your pride and take in stride
the mistakes you made, you'll get paid
your self-respect, self-worth
And your dignity
