Traditional Security

He comes home late from work,
Expects dinner to be served,
A big steak cause real men need meat,
Has two kids already,
A third one on the way and a grown man who takes her for granted
(So many dreams)
So much potential settled for traditional security
Life's a scary game to play where men set the rules
And men possess all the assets

Hits her heart then comes crawling back with tears in his eyes to apologize

She looks in the mirror
A black eye stares back at her
Wishing she hadn't been so afraid
To stand on her own but it's never to late to take control of her life

Might be a scary game to play where men set the rules
And men possess all the assets but girls kick ass too
