Behind Closed Doors

Cover the bruises with your make up, let reality be hidden Lying to yourself, you’re the only one you are kidding Every time it happens, he swears never again, time may dull the memory but it can’t erase the pain He reeks of their perfume and stale cigarettes, whilst you constantly remind yourself you have no fuckin regrets Hands once so tender now grab you by the throat, trivial reasons, like a missing remote Vows made with love upon your wedding day, now all you can think of is running far away Nothing will ever change, your life is set in stone, terrified of leaving and ending up alone So run away now girl as fast as you can, for even the power of true love cannot change a violent man.
