I tried and tried to love you my way
even though you hurt me each & everyday
punching me & slapping me & kicking me too
I walked away knowing we were over & through.
You used to say that I was tender and weak
the marks and bruises I saw on my cheek
it was boxing and judo that gave me my voice
by walking away, I could finally rejoice.
