We met in 2004 He waited for me at the door He was nervous, looked around And then he kissed me, I was found I'm mostly like everyone else My friends are kind, I'm in good health I like to dance when I'm at home I like to dance
We were so in love My friends were jealous of me He held me close, I felt at home And I had always felt alone And he got angry sometimes He's only angry sometimes He shouts at me and I shout back I have always been like that
I just wish he'd stop I just wish he'd stop I just wish he'd stop
The first time he pushed me over He walked past, he smashed my phone I didn't know what to say next Do you know what you would do next? We'd been together for six years We'd held each other through our tears I yelled at him, he cried in fear He didn't want to be like this
I just wish he'd stop I just wish he'd stop I just wish he'd stop
Please don't feel sorry for me I don't want your pity I want to run through rivers and smile I want to sing right through the night You scream, "Why don't you leave? " My kids are two and three I just can't pay for what they need We both know he'd find me
I just wish he'd stop hitting me
I get so scared of what to show I'm pretty sure some of my friends know My mum says I look different now She says I don't look like myself I sometimes think, if he'd left I could be a doctor or an artist People always say I'm smart I could go back to school and start again
I'm like everyone else I'm mostly like everyone else I'm mostly like everyone else I'm mostly like everyone else I like to dance when I'm alone I like to dance when I'm at home I like to dance when I'm at home I like to dance
