I know where she is
She's safe
I told her to cover her ears
And stay there

She'll do that
I know she will
She has to¨
My love has to be safe

I left her alone
I didn't want to
But I had to
Have to stop this storm

She's done nothing wrong
Yet the storm is after her
I won't let it get her
I'll stop it

They're angry
They're drunk too
They're dangerous
And after my love

I go out there
Tell them to be quiet
I don't want her to hear
The horrible things they say

They slap me
I'm so angry
But I control myself
For her

They abuse me
But I wont let them
Never let them pass
As long as she's safe

I was so stupid
Asking her to come over
It's my fault
She has to hear the lies

I know she's crying
I know she's hurt
She has never seen this before
I wish she never had to

I'm use
Have stopped caring
But they attack her
And that's unacceptable

I stand up for her
Defend her
And speak nothing but truth
Yet they punish me

At last
They stop
At last
I return to her

Ignorant little girl
I wish this hadn't happened
I wish you had never known
What happens under this roof

It makes me sick
To see you cry like that
That new look in your eyes
Hurts my heart
