BROKEN PROMISE

I lay here in my hospital bed
Broken body and broken dreams
Wondering why you hurt me this time
I thought that you loved me enough to put the anger behind

I see the anger in your eyes
Its like a storm brewing in the skies
And I thought I was learning to duck and hide
I guess there is no hiding from the anger you feel inside

I trusted the words that you told me that day
And for weeks we were happy, or I thought so anyway
It started again, I begged you to stop
But the anger inside kept rising to the top

So here I lay, broken body and broken dreams
There you will stay in jail for just one day
WHY did you hurt me
WHY won't you pay
