Repent

Step by thumping step
Through the rain to find my man
If you hurt my baby girl
You’ll never see the sun again
I saw him in the streetlights standing there
Laughing about what he’d done with all his friends
So I made a brick out of my hand
And I hit that motherfucker as hard as I can
I could smell the blood coming from his head
And his head hit the ground with a deafening sound
And I thought he was dead
You lay with me while I lie awake at night
Cursing at these hands for what they’ve done to my eyes
You lay with me while I lie awake at night
Cursing at these hands for what they’ve done to my eyes
I keep his face in a place that I’ve kept clear
Reserved for all the frightened faces over all the years
If I had my time again, I would do the same
I live that moment every night to cleanse myself with the pain
You lay with me while I lie awake at night
Cursing at these hands for what they’ve done to my eyes
You lay with me while I lie awake at night
Cursing at these hands for what they’ve done to my eyes
You lay with me while I lie awake at night
Cursing at these hands for what they’ve done to my eyes
You lay with me while I lie awake at night
Cursing at these hands for what they’ve done to my eyes
