This song is different from the others that I wrote. Why, do you ask? Because it's written from two different perspectives. It's based on a relationship that I actually did have where I was unfortunately a DV victim. The verses and first two choruses are written as though they are from the perspective of the guy. The last chorus, however, is written from that of the female. It's basically a storyline type song. Before you start thinking that I stabbed my boyfriend with whom I was involved in the relationship - ours didn't quite end like that. Hey -- everything has to have a little fiction in it, right?
Comments are appreciated, though (as always).
Verse 1:
Promise not to again, it's the last time
Imma be different, Imma keep ya mine.
I juss get so angry, ya know ya made me
Told ya no, why didn't ya stop B.
Here lemme help ya, wipe that blood
Didn't mean to do it, sorry bout the mud.
Does it hurt, ya arm ya face
I juss get crazy, forget ma place.
Baby please forgive, never again
Ya ma babygirl, I'm ya man.
Ma dad was the same, hit ma mom
Hurt her so hard, she became numb.
I did it to you, oh my god
Someone help me, someone above.
Don't call the cops, no need for that
I can't go back, not back to state.
Chorus 1:
Heard it all before, never again.
Didn't last long, never again.
Same words over, never again.
Please juss forgive, never again.
Won't hurt you, never again.
Juss one chance, never again.
I'll do better, never again.
You so beautiful, never again.
Love you forever, never again.
Verse 2:
You didn't call, please say no
F*** I told you not to, here we go.
I can't get in trouble, not anymore
Got a good mind, lay ya out on the floor.
Why didn't ya listen, I'm gettin' mad
Now I wanna hurt ya, hurt ya so bad.
We coulda been good, think bout it
But ya went, and f***ed up s***.
Imma teach ya, show ya a lesson
It's not gon hurt, it's gon be fun.
What I say, remember it goes
All over the floor, ya blood flows.
Told ya to stop, I said no
Ya kept goin', askin' for mo'.
I hear the cops, they gettin' closer
Not doin' time, no do over.
Chorus 2:
Breathe no more, never again.
It'll end here, never again.
Can't go back, never again.
Won't do time, never again.
Call the cops, never again.
See the day, never again.
Push ya luck, never again.
Shed that blood, never again.
Be together, never again.
Verse 3:
Go head I dare ya, grab ya knife
Try if ya want, Imma take ya life.
Those tears those pleas, they mean nothin'
Actin' like, we were ever somethin'.
I thought I did, thought I loved you
Ya were juss here, so I used you.
Don't ya get it, don't ya see
Ya meant nothin', ever to me.
Juss led ya on, for me it was fun
Now it's over, ya life gon be done.
The sirens, they in the drive
Ya fixin' to be gone, no longer alive.
Any last words, anything to say
About to be over, all gone away.
Oh s*** ya stabbed me, right in the heart
I really did love you, from the start.
Chorus 3:
Fists won't swing, never again.
Words won't cut, never again.
Won't look back, never again.
Not a victim, never again.
This time, gon be different
It's gon work, without ya in it.
Not givin' up, never again.
I love you, but never again.
