lyrics

Why did she Stay?
V1
He swept her right off her feet with all the flowers and charm, but soon came the jealous streak, black eyes and a fractured arm. He swears that he’s going to change; he’ll never do it again. She pretends on his behalf, denies the truth to herself.
Chorus
Scenes of fear and tragedy, played out behind closed doors. With the last of her dignity, she picks herself up once more. As if it was her own fault neighbours say;
Why did she stay?
V2
On the evening of that last time, the silent scorn got so loud. He slammed the kitchen door in her face knocking her to the ground. All the pain she had ever felt boiled up inside her veins. Holding the bloodied knife she yelled; he’ll never do it again.
Chorus same x2
