[Verse 1]
He tried to leave like he really had a choice in it
Lost his pride and when he screamed lost his voice with it
She laughed when he cried but he just wanted the lies ended
Just wanted to last in the race didn’t care who’d win it
She only did what he allowed she ran ramped
Trampled all over his feelings until he couldn’t stand it
Blinded By his sunlight smile but what he was planning
Was a guarantee that that all of this abuse was about finish
And it never occurred to her that he was hurtin
That each word left a gash in his flesh that never closed until
He left gaspin for breath on the floor with his hands around her neck

[Verse 2]
She talked to the sky cause no human would lend an ear
Cried pint of blood cause no human deserved tears
She fell asleep in his arms that was her worst fear
Never believe she’d leave the road was too clear
Swallowed gun barrels to show that he was not afraid
Convinced her self all she deserved was a cage
She wasn’t scared of him she was scared of being betrayed
She knew what to expect no surprises that’s why she stayed
Embraced the beatings as acts of intimacy
The bruises outside were manifestations of what’s inside anyway
So the Day she slit both her wrist in her sleep she felt free
