This songs humbly tells the story of a woman looking for herself and finding freedom from domestic violence.
lyrics
You must open your eyes before they get shut
Why do I have you in my life?
You don't help me
Understand me
You're crying all the time
Why you running?
Why you screaming?
You were supposed to love me
I feel you're scared of me
Don't be scared of me
The drink is just to numb me
The blows are just to numb you
Can't you see how I'm hurting?
Please don't hurt me
Please don't leave me
Why don't you simply just kill me
I wouldn't mind
You wouldn't mind
I gave you all my heart
Scared of emptyness
Scared of lonelyness
The drink is just to numb me
The blows are just to numb you
I want to feel alive
Not just to survive
A woman with love and respect
A woman without neglect
I tried to tell you
But you won't hear me
You'd rather beat me
I know that I have strength in me
Much more than you do
I don't need you
I deserve better than this
My eyes are swollen
But they are open
The drink is just to numb me
The blows are just to numb you
I want to say goodbye
I have told you goodbye
Now I'm ready to try
"Strong!" is my battlecry
"Power!" is my battlecry
I am alive!
