It's quarter past the hour and yet time is standing still
I want to say so much but I don't have the skill
My life was almost perfect, it was my life to live
I've done so many things that I know you can't forgive
Please take me somewhere special, take me somewhere true
I lived the best years of my life sharing them with you
Now you are so cold, I don't know what I did
Please don't do this to me, please think about our kid

Something dark has happened, something here has changed
I can't quite explain it, but it makes me feel deranged
It's like you try to hurt me, in any way you can
You destroy my favorite things and I don't get your plan
You hid all of the blankets, you keep me up at night
You stabbed me in the hand when I said it wasn't right
You burned me with an iron, you cracked my humerus
The cuts and bruises on my arms are so damn numerous

Call me old fashioned but I will not raise my hand
No matter how you hurt me and I think you understand
When I vowed forever, I never meant like this
The laughter in your voice is what I really miss
You said that I meant nothing, you're not happy when I'm here
I don't know what I did but you know just what I fear
You threaten to take my son, everytime I leave
It seems like every day, there's a threat I must perceive

You would smile when I would show up, you would cry when I would leave
There has to be some feelings left, at least I must believe
All people can change, but I don't think this way
I miss our time together, I miss you every day
I'm feeling so alone, even when you're here
I feel my body slipping, will I make it through the year?
You only wanted money, and then to be set free
I hate that you meant everything, everything to me
