"I Got Flowers Today"


Bar


I got Flowers Today
It wasn't my birthday or any other special day
We had our first argument last night
And he said alot of cruel things that really hurt me
I know he is sorry and didn't mean the things he said
Because he sent me flowers today.
I got Flowers Today
It wasn't our anniversary or any other special day
Last night, He threw me into a wall and started to
choke me.
It seemed like a nightmare.
I couldn't believe it was real.
I woke up this morning sore and bruised all over
I know he must be sorry
I got flowers today, And it wasn't Mother's Day or any
Other special day.
Last night, He beat me up again.
And it was much worse than all the other times.
If I leave him what will I do?
How will I take care of my kids? What about money?
I'm afraid of him and scared to leave.
But I know he must be sorry.
I got flowers today. Today was a very special day.
It was the day of my Funeral.
Last night he finally killed me.
He beat me to death.
If only I had gathered
Enough courage and strength to leave him.
I would not have gotten flowers today.
