I GOT A FLOWER TODAY

It wasn't our anniversary 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
Because he sent me flowers today.

I GOT FLOWERS TODAY.

It wasn't my birthday 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.

It wasn't Mothers 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 am afraid and scared to leave.
But I know he must be sorry
Because he sent me flowers today.

I GOT FLOWERS TODAY.

Today is a very special day.
It was the day of my funeral.
Last night, he finally killed me.
If only I had gathered
Enough courage and strength to leave him.
I would not have gotten flowers today.
