I got flowers today.
It wasn't my birthday or
Any other special day.
We had our first argument
last night,
And he said a lot of cruel things
that really hurt me.
I know he is sorry and didn't mean
the things he said.

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.
Because he sent me flowers today.

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.
Because he sent me flowers today.

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.
