no tears 6/98

how can you say you love me
when all you do is beat me down?
you think what you do is normal
but you wouldn't if you looked around
and you tell me not to cry
that my tears don't move your heart
and not to ask you why you hit
but not knowing tears me apart
then after all is said and done
you expect me to forgive you
and accept flowers or cards as payment
for the hell you put me through
