Alive

All she's asking is for a little more time,
 To walk away from his anger and leave the bruises far behind
 She won't talk about it... she's made up her mind
 But as the front door shuts behind her she whispers "give me a sign."
 Feels the power of the engine as she climbs to 65
 Every piston sounds like freedom, every white line says goodbye
 She'll find strength in her anger and the truth in his lies
 When the last scar finally fades she'll have a new life
 Say goodbye to Mr. Right
 Lock the door, turn out the light
 Pack your bags, leave this trap
 Run away, don't look back
 See another day with each new sun
 Your life has just begun
 She can still feel the touch of his hand
 Not just the violence but the warmth of her man
 The night she never felt so alive
 even though it feels so cold outside
 It's the first time I've ever seen her smile
