Introduction
Domestic violence is everywhere around us and for some of us it is not something new. It comes in many forms physical, emotional, and psychological. The abuse is very real and when it starts we are the last to notice it. Nothing is worse then being the person on the outside looking in watching mothers, sisters, and friends go through it without being able to do anything is hard.

Every line of each versus starts off more aggressive then the last the listener can feel that if things don 't change then things can end really bad, they are not sure if she will leave or not. The guitar plays the same hard cord throughout the whole song and Eve 's voice remains same as she puts emphasis on certain words and softens on the chorus. The only thing that changed was how aggressive her words
