	Lyrics She pretends that she's still sleeping til she hears him close the door Her eye still red and swollen from his hand the night before. The castle of her dreams is now a prison for her soul He'll punish her if dinner's late, or if it gets too cold. Little Johnny plays outside so he can't see her tears, It's not only his father but his legacy she fears Every time she tries to run he drags her back again To her it soon was clear there's only one way this could end. CHORUS She looked around her life at all the things that shouldn't be And the walls of hope collapsing on her struggle to be free. And the words keep ringing in her heart, 'Til death do us part. One day she found the answer in the table by his bed A polished silver barrel and a bullet made of lead. She remembered what he said last night, before the beating started "If you're going to hit someone, you better hit them hard." Her son was at a neighbor's house where she'd sought help before And she sat resolutely in a chair that faced the door Cold metal chilled her hand and desperation froze her soul She couldn't go on suffering for a little band of gold. She heard the boots out on the step, but then the doorbell rang She answered to a man in blue and hid her guilty mind. "There's been an accident," he said. "You shouldn't be alone. He had a drink behind the wheel, he won't be coming home."
