There's No Excuse, None At All

If you’re angry and unloved
If your heart hurts like heck,
Well here’s a little story,
(You twisted messed-up reject,)
On how to make your family love you,
And make them see,
(And make you see)
That you love them too

There’s no excuse,
None at all,
Stop pushing them down,
Stop making them fall,
There’s no excuse,
None at all,

Don’t hit them,
Don’t smack them,
Don’t curse or yell,
Don’t you see?!
You’re making their lives HELL

There’s no excuse,
None at all,
Stop pushing them down,
Stop making them fall,
There’s no excuse,
None at all,

You can’t undo the past,
So here’s a little tip,
Get down on your knees,
Beg for forgiveness
Make them a special promise

There’s no excuse,
None at all,
Stop pushing them down,
Stop making them fall,
There’s no excuse,
None at all,

No more hitting,
No more hurting,
Just caring,
Just loving,

There’s no excuse,
None at all,
Stop pushing them down,
Stop making them fall,
There’s no excuse,
None at all,

They’re staying with you,
They’re still trying to love you,
So stop putting them down,
And stop picking them up,
Just so you can throw them around

There’s no excuse,
None at all,
Stop pushing them down,
Stop making them fall,
There’s no excuse,
None at all

Abuse

perhaps you might to try this you are making their lives a living hell( purely a suggestion) No leave the refrain in . My opinion is it reinforces the point you are making good writing , you have something to say and you have said it. Abuse is not a joking matter and you did a fine job of driving that point home Chrys
