May That Type of Love Never Find Me

May I never know a man who loves me

Until he gets everything that he was seeking.

May I never know a man who corrects me

With his fist, with his body, with his cruelty.

/

May I never know the colors of the bruises...

May I never recognize him by his footsteps.

May I never have to beg for my life on bended knee...

May that type of love never find me.

/

May I never have a child with a violent man

It's only a matter of time before he's laying hands.

May I never have to surrender myself to save them

May they never have to watch their father sin.

/

May I never know the colors of the bruises...

May I never recognize him by his footsteps.

May I never have to beg for their lives on bended knee...

May that type of love never find me.

/

If the choice is being a helpmeet to a sadistic man...

I much rather be alone for the rest of my life.

If the choice is being owned by a sycophant...

I'll take the stairs to hell rather than behind his fake holy light.

/

May I never know the colors of the bruises...

May I never recognize him by his footsteps.

May I never have to beg for my life on bended knee...

May that type of love never find me.
