*the beginning*
The time had finally came
when I realized
the door to my escape
was nailed solidly shut
no way to get free
as I stood silently by
supplying each nail
that kept me inside locked .
*Verses 1 2 3*
Each morning when I awoke
I prayed all would be fine
while deep inside my heart
I'd be cringing deep inside
Knowing it wouldn't be long
till I'd be the brunt of his anger
a slap, a punch, another bruise
so many black eyes I wore.
Followed by many excuses
promises to never do it again
but I was the biggest of fools,
fooling only myself each time.
*Insert* x 2
sung softly
The door to my escape
was nailed completely shut
no way to get free
so I guess I'll give up!
*Verses 4 5 6 *
I tried once to leave him
and he managed to find me
for back in those days
there was no help you see.
At least it's what I thought
till I was given a place to go
that kept me and my children
safe, for how long I don't know.
Then unfortunately, he found us
armed with promises to change
as he begged me back so sweetly
leaving me confused and afraid.
*faintly in background x 2*
what was a mother to do
what was a mother to do
*Verses 7 8 9*
It was only a few days later
he beat me hard as he could
what made it now unbearable
he now knew what else to do
I loved my children dearly
protecting them from all
when he started to abuse them
I would stop him at all cost.
Our children were his pawn
to cause more harm to me
determined to destroy all
in the name of his love you see!
.
*Chorus*
But the time had finally came
when I realized
the door to my escape
was nailed solidly shut
no way to get free
it was all my fault
as I stood silently by
supplying each nail
that kept me inside locked inside.
