Live this way

Amyg 1983 (Bangor)

Why must you keep starting shit?
I left 15 years when you decided to hit.
You say you wanted me for life,
Thought one day I would be your wife.
I thought one day that would be,
But we always fought you and me.
I kept saying I couldn't live that way,
Wishing it would change so I could stay.
But I couldn't handle it,
Especially since I got hit.
