Never Again

I let it slide the first time
i let it be forgiven the second time
i let it be the last time this last time
you think you are all big and bad
coming along and hitting me when you want
think that it doesn't leave eternal scars
the outside scars that i have to cover up
and tell others i fell down
but i am getting up again

never again will you hit me
never again will you push me
never again will you hurt me
never again, never again
love should never hurt like this

you wanted things done your way
"or else" you would say over and over
throwing me against the wall again
threatening me this, threatening me that
made me scared of my own shadow
you knew you had me at hello
yet wanted to hear goodbye for so long
but i finally found my own strength
to leave you for good

never again will you punish me
never again will you harm me
never again will you force me
never again, never again
never again
