Don't look back
Don't look back
As I put on my coat
And I open the door

Break the fear
Break the fear
Of his fist in my stomach
His terrible stare

Don't give in
Don't give in
To the loyalty that
He is drowning me in

Don't wake up
Don't wake up
I am praying to God
As I turn on the car

And I don't know where
I am going tonight
But I'll drive til it's light
Any way that I can
And maybe I'll run
Til the pain starts to dull
Til the light in my eyes
Finally tells me I'm whole again

He was kind
He was kind
On the day that I met him
And I was so blind
Now I know
And the blood on my clothes
Is my future
My present
My curse if I don't go
And I will
Because life is too
Precious to live this lie

And I don't know where
I am going tonight
But I'll drive til it's light
Any way that I can
And maybe I'll run
Til the pain starts to dull
Til the light in my eyes
Finally tells me I'm whole again
