I sneak into our driveway
Turn down my favourite song
Hoping that your mood has faded
About whatever I've done you wrong
Praying, God let him be sleeping
I can't do this fighting anymore
My eyes tender of weeping
My watch says it long past four
I swallowed the excuses
when you smelled of her perfume
one can hide only so many bruises
to protect the life inside my womb
Lord let him just be sober
Or just let me get some sleep
I know that this is over
Give me the courage to pack and leave
Slamming doors and throwing things
Just feed the flames of your denial
If I had the courage to spread my wings
Or pick up the phone and dial
But unknown futures
For this little one and me
Doesn't make you no abuser
No matter how scared I may be
We live and breathe inside our home's walls
I cringe each time I hear you call
I Pick up the bottles of the floor
But there's no denying this
You don't love here anymore.
