What should I do? what about this? what about that?
I stare at the coffee cup and the chair where he sat
I can't keep on like this, no rest, my eyes are all red
if i keep this up it won't be long and i will be dead

But, the kids need me they won't make it without me
whoa, lets write this down so we all can really see
The way things are has been nothing but pure hell
and he and things won't change as far as i can tell

The nights of him hollering and the sound of the slap
makes me tremble as my child lays here in my lap
What should i do? What can i do? questions fly
and hard as i try to hold back a tear comes to my eye

This is no way to live, love has no meanibg here
but in leaving i would be sure to live a life of fear
Or would i? You have to stand by your goals in life
for without them you would never get out of this strife

Take a deep breath, relax, clear your mind and think
you'd rather live a life that was calm and didn't stink
Then it's time to plan and finally make your move
plans like this will slowly heal and begin to soothe

So save your money, look for places, stay hard
and keep it to yourself till you play that final card
Then you and your children will be happy and safe
and people will finally see that smile back on your face.
