She

While the pain is burning her chest

She pretends to believe there's something that can be done

And gives out some kind of advice

Avoiding looking in the mirror

And what is it that she wants to justify?

As soon as you get home you want to beat her

And say that it’s all her fault

For not wanting to obey you

You got home late from drinking

And you want to rape her

So much hate that it freezes

And fear shuts her mouth

She can go...She has to

And what is that she wants to justify?

Your son’s not going to forget

The desperate scream

Of someone who doesn’t know what to do

The next day you’re cryin

And begging on bended knee

Weeping like a damsel

Just to be let out of your cell

And what is it that she wants to justify?

You’re playing to lose

But pretend that you learned

But you’ve surely already forgotten

You left before dusk

You came back before dawn

You don’t even remember what life was like in that cell

Playing the macho you beat her

While the pain is burning her chest

She pretends to believe there’s something that can be done

And gives out some kind of advice

Avoiding looking in the mirror.

She’s afraid to be alone

She’s afraid of what people might say

Like someone going to the guillotine

She’ll let him come back home

Friend, can you help me understand

How it is that you’re going to explain to her son

And how are you going to look at yourself in the mirror

With her blood on your hands

Time passes and we get used to it

But there’s always going to be a star shining

A lonely old destiny, with no love,

You’re still going to cry a lot for her

CRY!!!!
