and she takes another step
slowly she opens the door
check that he is sleeping
pick up all the broken glass and furniture on the floor
been up half the night screaming now it's time to get away
pack up the kids in the car
another bruise to try and hide
another alibi to write

another ditch in the road
you keep moving
another stop sign
you keep moving on
and the years go by so fast
wonder how i ever made it through

and there are children to think of
baby's asleep in the backseat
wonder how they'll ever make it through this living nightmare
but the mind is an amazing thing
full of candy dreams and new toys and another cheap hotel
two beds and a coffee machine
but there are groceries to buy
and she knows she'll have to go home

i don't know why i like songs referring to abuse so much... i bought this cd basically for this one song. i also really like shania twain's black eyes, blue tears", everclear's wonderful and father of mine, and tori amos' me and a gun (though i'm not quite sure why...i can't relate too much to this). maybe i listen to them so i don't feel so alone in my experiences. it's kind of wierd...i don't like movies that have any of this in them, but the music seems to help me out alot.
