Distracted

She fell down the stairs and opened her eyes
 He's over the edge this time
 He's all wound up from the nightmares
 They make him lose his mind
 She's distracted
 Lost the sense of the urgency tonight
 The sense of the urgency tonight
 For a couple of years she covered her eyes
 She'd give him hell sometimes
 The makeup covered the bruises
 But somehow made her blind
 She got distracted
 Lost the sense of the urgency in life
 The sense of the urgency in life
 Can she save herself? Save her from the nightmare
 Save her from the nightmare he's become
 She looks up the stairs, slips out the door
 The floor creaks so loud at night
 The keys fumbling in the ignition
 This ride could turn the tide
 While he's distracted
 She finds the urgent need to survive
 She finds the urgent need to survive
 Can she save herself? Save her from the nightmare
 Save her from the nightmare he's become
 She's holding here, it's tiring pretending
 She's tired from just waiting for it to end
 She's been hanging round on this side of town
 Missing opportunities
 She wants to brace herself just enough to sing
 A little louder every day, yeah
 A little louder every day
 She runs up our stairs and it floods her eyes
 She's smiling for real this time
 No makeup to cover the bruises
 No more running through life blind
 She just got distracted
 But she's finding the will and the strength to survive
 She's finding the will and the strength to survive
 And it saves her from, it saves her from the nightmare
 Saves her from the nightmare he's become
 She's holding here, she's tired of pretending
 Tired of just waiting for it to end
