At first, the hook seems a little corny, but it'll grow on you.

This is a song against domestic abuse. It's all about the kind of man I never want to be and his relationship with a woman who eventually takes matters into her own hand.
|
What kind of man are you?
Do you think that strength is all in your hand?
Who are you married to?
Do you keep her there to prove you're a man?
And when she turns her head
To hidethe bruise you left
Do you feel a sort of sickening pride?
When push comes to love
All the beauty goes away
When push comes to love
All the roses just decay
What is it you expect?
Her to serve you cuz you had a hard day?
She's just a nervous wreck
Cuz you hit her if you don't get your way
And if she says a word
You know it won't be heard
She would be better off
Just to keep it inside
(Chorus)
Don't you think she knows
The situation's kind of a mess?
And when one day she goes
And leaves you with a knife in the chest
It might be just as well
If she's condemned to hell
She couldn't sit and watch
As every part of her died
Love's not supposed to hurt
Love's not just a word
The world is full of hurt
Let your voice be heard
(Chorus
