    Here are two, hope they help.

    "Luka" by Suzanne Vega

    My name is Luka

    I live on the second floor

    I live upstairs from you

    Yes, I think you've seen me before.

    If you hear something late at night,

    some kind of trouble some kind of fight

    Just don't ask me what it was,

    Just don't ask me what it was,

    Just don't ask me what it was.

    I think it's `cos I'm clumsy

    I try not to talk too loud,

    Maybe it's because I'm crazy

    I try not to act too proud,

    They only hit until you cry,

    and after that you don't ask why

    You just don't argue anymore,

    You just don't argue anymore,

    You just don't argue anymore.

    Yes, I think I'm okay

    Walked into the door again,

    If you ask, that's what I'll say

    and it's not your business anyway

    I guess I'd like to be alone

    with nothing broken, nothing thrown

    Just don't ask me how I am,

    Just don't ask me how I am,

    Just don't ask me how I am.

    My name is Luka

    I live on the second floor

    They only hit until you cry,

    and after that you don't ask why

    You just don't argue anymore,

    You just don't argue anymore,

    You just don't argue any more.

    "Never Again" by Nickelback

    He's drunk again, it's time to fight

    She must have done something wrong tonight

    The living room becomes a boxing ring

    It's time to run when you see him clenching his hands

    She's just a woman... never again

    I hear her scream from down the hall

    Amazing she can even talk at all

    She cries to me... "go back to bed"

    I'm terrified that she'll wind up dead in his hands

    She's just a woman... never again

    Been there before but not like this

    Seen it before but not like this

    Never before have I ever seen it this bad

    She's just a woman... never again

    Just tell the nurse you slipped and fell

    It starts to sting as it starts to swell

    She looks at you... she wants the truth

    It's right out there in the waiting room with those hands

    Lookin' just as sweet as he can... never again

    Seen it before but not like this

    Been there before but not like this

    Never before have I ever seen it this bad

    She's just a woman... never again

    Father's a name you haven't earned yet

    You're just a child with a temper

    Haven't you heard "don't hit a lady"

    Kickin' your *** would be a pleasure

    He's drunk again, it's time to fight

    Same old ****, just on a different night

    She grabs the gun, she's had enough

    Tonight she'll find out how ******' tough is this man

    Pulls the trigger fast as she can... never again

    Seen it before but not like this

    Been there before but not like this

    Never before have I ever seen it this bad

    She's just a woman... never again

    Songs About An Abusive Relationship

  • 6 years ago

    It's so sad to feel the hurt again .does it ever go away will the memories fade away. They hit the yell they hurt you more than any one could, your gave them yourself and this is what you get

    is it for a life time or just a small part of your life taken away, why. Do they not care, can they not see how much you cared. They took it all away and gave you back a broken heart, broken arm,

    and now that there gone all I have is a hurtful lonely heart.

    "Goodbye Earl"

    by the Dixie Chicks

    Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends

    All through thier high school days

    Both members of the 4H club

    Both active in the FFA

    After graduation Mary Anne went out lookin'

    for a bright new world

    Wanda looked all around this town

    And all she found was Earl

    Well it wasn't two weeks

    After she got married that

    Wanda started gettin' abused

    She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses

    And make up to cover a bruise

    Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce

    She let the law take it from there

    But Earl walked right through that restraining order

    And put her in intensive care

    Right away Mary Anne flew in from Atlanta

    On a red eye midnight flight

    She held Wanda's hand as they

    Worked out a plan

    And it didn't take 'em long to decide

    That Earl had to die

    Goodbye Earl

    Those black-eyed peas

    They tasted all right to me Earl

    You're feelin' weak

    Why don't you lay down

    And sleep Earl

    Ain't it dark

    Wrapped up in that tarp Earl

    The cops came by to bring Earl in

    They searched the house

    High and low

    Then they tipped thier hats

    And said "thank you ladies if you hear from him let us know"

    Well the weeks went by and

    Spring turned to Summer

    And Summer faded into Fall

    And it turns out he was a missing person

    Who nobody missed at all

    So the girls bought some land

    And a roadside stand

    Out on Highway 109

    They sell Tennessee ham

    And strawberry jam

    And they don't

    Lose any sleep at night 'cause

    Earl had to die

    Goodbye Earl

    We need a break

    Let's go out to the lake Earl

    We'll pack a lunch

    And stuff you in the trunk Earl

    Well is that all right

    Good Let's go for a ride

    Earl Hey

    ...hope this helped...good luck...=)

    Independence Day by Martina Mcbride-country song and Janie's Got a Gun by Areosmith

  • 5 years ago

    One of the most common questions spouses ask when confronting a marriage crisis is this: How can I save my marriage if my partner doesn't want to help find a solution? How do I succeed I am trying to save my marriage on my own? Learn here https://tr.im/LtBCV

    It is a typical enough story: one partner leaves, the other stays. One remains 'in love', the other is uncertain. Whatever it is that has caused a couple to be apart, the one person who remains bears the prospect, fear, doubt, desire, hope of saving his or her marriage' alone.

    How about:

    Title: The Little Girl lyrics

    Artist: John Michael Montgomery lyrics

    Album: Three Wooden Crosses lyrics

    Her parents never took the young girl to church

    Never spoke of His name

    Never read her His word

    Two non-believers walking lost in this world

    Took their baby with them

    What a sad little girl

    Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs

    Never wanted to play

    Or give kisses and hugs

    She'd watch the TV and sit there on the couch

    While her mom fell asleep

    And her daddy went out

    And the drinking and the fighting

    just got worse every night

    Behind their couch she'd be hiding

    Oh what a sad little life

    And like it always does, the bad just got worse

    With every slap and every curse

    Until her daddy in a drunk rage one night

    Used a gun on her mom and then took his life

    And some people from the city took the girl far away

    To a new mom and dad

    And kisses and hugs everyday

    Her first day of Sunday school the teacher walked in

    And a small little girl

    Stared a picture of Him

    She said I know that man up there on that cross

    I don't know His name

    But I know He got off

    He was there in my old house

    and held me close to His side

    As I hid there behind our couch

    The night that my parents died .

    "Face Down" by the "Red Jumpsuit Apparatus" is a good one. =)

    Hey girl you know you drive me crazy

    one look puts the rhythm in my hand.

    Still I'll never understand why you hang around

    I see what's going down.

    Cover up with make up in the mirror

    tell yourself it's never gonna happen again

    you cry alone and then he swears he loves you.

    Do you feel like a man

    when you push her around?

    Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?

    Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end

    as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.

    A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect

    every action in this world will bear a consequence

    If you wade around forever you will surely drown

    I see what's going down.

    I see the way you go and say your right again,

    say your right again

    heed my lecture

    Do you feel like a man

    when you push her around?

    Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?

    Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end

    as your lies crumble down a new life she has.

    One day she will tell you that she has had enough

    its coming round again.

    (repeat)

    Do you feel like a man, when you push her around?

    Do you feel better now as she falls to the grown?

    Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end

    as your lies crumble down, a new life she has.

    Face down in the dirt she says, this doesn't hurt she says I finally had enough..

    (repeat)
