I Like to Dance

We met in 2004

He waited for me at the door

He was nervous, looked around

And then he kissed me, I was found

I'm mostly like everyone else

My friends are kind, I'm in good health

I like to dance when I'm at home

I like to dance

We were so in love

My friends were jealous of me

He held me close, I felt at home

And I had always felt alone

And he got angry sometimes

He's only angry sometimes

He shouts at me and I shout back

I have always been like that

I just wish he'd stop

I just wish he'd stop

I just wish he'd stop

The first time he pushed me over

He walked past, he smashed my phone, I

Didn't know what to say next

Do you know what you would do next?

We'd been together for six years

We'd held each other through our tears

I yelled at him, he cried in fear

He didn't want to be like this

I just wish he'd stop

I just wish he'd stop

I just wish he'd stop

Please don't feel sorry for me

I don't want your pity

I want to run through rivers and smile

I want to sing right through the night

You scream, why don't you leave?

My kids are two and three

I just can't pay for what they need

We both know he'd find me

I just wish he'd stop hitting me

I get so scared of what to show

I'm pretty sure some of my friends know

My mum says I look different now

She says I don't look like myself

I sometimes think if he left

I could be a doctor or an artist

People always say I'm smart

I could go back to school and start

Again, I'm like everyone else

I'm mostly like everyone else

I'm mostly like everyone else

I'm mostly like everyone else

I like to dance when I'm alone

I like to dance when I'm at home

I like to dance when I'm at home

I like to dance
