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!!!!
