Story Behind The Song

How do you get past domestic abuse? Seeing it happen from the perspective of an outsider.

Lyrics

WHAT KIND OF MAN

What kind of man
Can throw around a word like love
Then Throw you down
To the ground He'll push and shove
You around
No bruises found
Don't speak of this
You're not aloud to make a sound

What kind of man
Can justify the things he does
By blaming you
He cries and says it's all because
You pull his strings
And make him do those crazy things
Let me ask you this
Does this sound right to you?

You know deep inside that you do not deserve this
Climb out of that hole in your soul
Take back control of what's not his

You got to push him
You've got to push him away
You've got to stand up
You got to face him and say
No more, no way, it's not ok
Anything and Everything I ever loved about us ends today

You gotta leave him
Don't waste your breath on goodbye
You can't believe him
No matter how hard he tries
To say that things don't have to be this way
Anything and everything you've ever loved about him ends today

It's been a while
Tell me this how have you been?
That missing smile
Is finding its way back again
Moving on
Has made you strong
It's clear for me to see
You won't be someone else's pawn

That kind of man
Will try to win you back again
And when he does
Look into the mirror and then
See where things are
And how you've come so far
Going back to him
Would only open up that scar

You know deep inside that you can't let him do this
You've got to hold on to control
Remind yourself that you're not his

Repeat chorus
