lyrics

She sits in her room, in the dark, and stares at the wall.
And listens to all of his ranting outside in the hall.
She prays today will be different, that he won’t come inside.
And wishes she knew of a place where she could run and hide.

CHORUS
This thing that’s been happenin’, been happenin’ for years.
When she thinks about it, gotta hold back her tears.
She knows that it’s wrong ‘cause it doesn’t feel right.
Gotta keep it together. Same thing’s gonna happen tonight.

She thinks back to her childhood when she didn’t feel quite so much pain.
After all, didn’t everyone’s family act just the same.
She had always tried to be a good girl, do what she was told.
Even though she was still in her teens she felt tired and old.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
He’s screamin’ ‘bout how he’s provided for her
in every way he possibly could.
And when he is finished, he breaks down and cries
and tells her it’s for her own good.

She’s been tryin’ so hard all her life for his love and respect.
But the things that he does to her, even her ma don’t suspect.
And sometimes when she starts to think things will turn out alright.
Obsession takes hold. Comes sneakin’ around in the night.

CHORUS
