Enough is Enough

Whisky filled veins.
Numb as can be.
The memories still so vivid like it were just yesterday.
*Swing* *Punch* *Throw*
Down I go.
Fighting back the tears and the excruciating pain.
I can't understand why you keep hurting me.
Does it make you feel like a man to knock me down?
To see the tears in my eyes?

How's it make you feel when I get back up?
When I wipe the tears from my eyes and yell "I've had enough!"
Don't tell me your sorry when you're not.
Don't say it won't happen again.
When the next day comes and you strike me yet again.
Enough is enough.
I can't take your kind of love no more.

No longer will I be your punching bag.
No longer will I make excuses for why you do what you do.
Now you my so-called love can watch me walk away.
I never signed up for this.
I deserve better, security, love.

Real men don't strike their women.
They walk away, cool off, and come back to discuss things.
Enough is enough.
Now you can blame yourself for my absence.
You'll miss me but I won't be missin' you.
My life will go on.
While you live with the regrets of your actions.
Knowing you had a good woman and all you could do was abuse her.
You never appreciated what you had.
You became another lesson learned.

The bruises will fade.
The cuts will heal.
But the memory of what you put me through will always be strong.
I'll never go through that again.
I deserve nuthin' but the best.
A real man who loves unconditionally.
And will never strike me.
Enough is enough.
I won't ever settle for less than what I deserve.
I've seen good and I've seen evil.
It's left unseen scars on my heart and soul.
But yet I still believe deep down there is someone out there for me.
Who will love me for me.
No matter what.
Good days and bad always standing by me.
Now that's true love.
I'll never give up believing there's better for me.
I've had allot of wrongs.
But it takes just one right to make all the pain and hurt worth fighting through.
