* this song i wrote for my sister (MacKenzie)
* its about her "love" who beats her up, yes we all know its wrong and somethings
its better understood through music then through talking, so i wrote this song to
show her what will eventually be their result in the relationship, this subject is
very touchy for me, so instead of talking about it i tun to my love of my life
(guitar) is avoiding the while talking part, i just sing, (she cried when i sang
it to her)
