Watch Me Burn

By Nomar Knight

Stand and watch me burn

You said I'll never learn

I ran off to get away from you

Not realizing I would pay dues

He dazzled me with his lies

And now I'm paying the price

A back slap here pulled hair there

Fattened lip and no one cares

I called the cops thinking I'd be free

Seeing him in chains and beggin' me

Ate my heart with a guilt trip

Can't have my man's dignity stripped

See you watch me burn

Sooner or later I will learn

But you don't understand

Love hurts and he's my man

He promised never again

Would he touch my bruised skin

Melted my will with sad eyes

Thinking this time no more lies

But after a few days I messed up

Pissed him off breaking his cup

Before I could run and hide

He took me down hell's ride

You stand over me in tears

Worn down from all those years

My corpse in ashes I never learned

Last time you'll watch me burn
