Everyday you swear this is the last time

I have no home and I'm down to the last dime

No more pain you promised you wouldn't hit me no more

Given up, I have no hope

hand me some soap because

I need to wash away this blood

One drink just leads to another

you stagger in drunker than a pig

tried to stop you, but you just took another swig

dropping the bottle you start to yell

screaming at me “you bitch you whore go to hell!”

Forcing me back against the wall

that slap stung

then the tears begin to fall

the punch comes next as I try to crawl away

looking at me as if I'm your prey

Everyday you swear this is the last time

I have no home and I'm down to the last dime

No more pain you promised you wouldn't hit me no more

Given up, I have no hope

hand me some soap because

I need to wash away this blood

People start to look at me funny

because the bruises are starting to show

come home late one day

you got real mad and said “hey baby let's play”

knowing this is going to hurt

I close my eyes as your fist comes flying in

connecting with my head I can hardly feel a thing

passed out against the table

but that's not enough for you 'cause you're unstable

Everyday you swear this is the last time

I have no home and I'm down to the last dime

No more pain you promised you wouldn't hit me no more

Given up, I have no hope

hand me some soap because

I need to wash away this blood

Everyday you swear this is the last time

I have no home and I'm down to the last dime

No more pain you promised you wouldn't hit me no more

Given up, I have no hope

hand me some soap because

I need to wash away this blood

need to wash away this blood
