why did you slap my face?
did you enjoy it?
i stood there and let you do it
and time after time you did it
but why did i just take it?
right up untill that day
that you told me to leave
and thats when i started to heal
and in that time apart we learnt a lot about each other
so we decided to give it another go
thinking what we'd lost and what we'd gained
and your promise never to hurt me so
but soon your hand started to rise again
and lessons had taught me to see it early
so i thought two can play that game
and i prepared mine to make it's reply
but two wrongs dont make one right
and i never wanted to be like that
so this time i left this potntial unit
to be the man i used to be
