She's lived her life for his good Surviving any way she could. Her happiness depends on the love of him And her future prospects grow so dim. When he's not home she sits and cries Wanting to, but not believing his lies. She pours herself a glass of wine To make herself believe all is fine. She dreams of a time when he was kind Or was his kindness all in her mind? Losing track of things that once mattered Reality's fabric becomes torn and tattered. This man's love is a poisonous thing Yet she feels the need to wear his ring. He comes home, drunk and mad Creates a scene ugly and bad. He's a danger to both life and limb Her life depends on an abuser's whim. As a family tries to set things right She clings to her man with all her might.
