She knows to hide all the bruising on her arms,
When she's outside, when she's alone.
Always with her, even when she's alone,
Her one and only soul.
She's stuck, out of luck and
Can't miss the love that she's never
Known, that she'll never know.
When he touches her, it still burns, but she's
Lost, so long, nowhere to turn.
When he hits her, it still hurts, but she's
Lost, baby she's lost for words.
She's scared of leaving, and she's scared to return
When there's nowhere else to go.
She's scared to turn the key, open the door
She stops and waits across the road.
She's stuck, out of luck and
Can't miss the love that she's never
Known, that she'll never know.
When he touches her, it still burns, but she's
Lost, so long, nowhere to turn.
When he hits her, it still hurts, but she's
Lost, baby she's lost for words.
When she thinks of death, he looks at her, says,
"I love you babe, ooohhh, oh I want to take you home".
When she thinks of death, he looks at her, says,
"I love you babe, aaaahhh, oh I want to take you home".
