• In the dark of the night, she stands alone
    staring hopelessly at the phone
    she asks herself, why should she try?
    the endings the same, say the tears in her eyes

    She cries by the window as he’s out getting high
    every puff he takes she dies more inside
    she’s devoted to him, but he’d never know
    she’s up against the wall and her blood runs cold

    She knows she can’t stay
    but she can’t break away
    bruised and battered
    Her life always scattered

    Hanging by her last thread
    her love will be her death bed
    if only he would know and open his eyes
    he would know why she cries

    Covering for him with the same old lies
    she wants him to love her as she waits over time
    daddy’s girl, you’d think she’s learn fast
    heart is the enemy, you just won’t make it back

    Hanging by her last thread
    her love will be her death bed
    if only he would know and open his eyes
    he would know why she cries

    In the dark of the night, she stands alone
    staring at the grave she’s come to know
