Turn Around

I opened up the door
But he grabbed me by the arm
I looked into his tearful eyes
And saw a some sort of alarm

I know leaving is the best way
To stop the awful fight
But when I see those teary eyes
I think maybe he is right

Maybe he will change
Stop hurting me so much
He will take away all the pain
Once again feel a gentle touch

But then I closed my eyes
And saw that terrible night
All the screaming and yelling
My heart was full of fright

So I loosen from his grip
And walk on out that door
I leave with my head down
My eyes on the floor

He runs straight through that open door
And wraps his arms around me
I scream \"just let me go!\"
He whispers \"Please don\'t leave me\"

\"You have scared me deep
These terrible invisible scars
No one will ever see them
I feel trapped behind your bars

There is no more love
Between you and I
I really am so sorry
This has to be goodbye”

I run onto the road
The tears flow onto my cheek
I bow my head in sadness
Then I hear an awful shriek

I awake to flashing lights
And rain pouring down
People all around me
Looks like the whole town

I see my baby next to me
Crying out my name
“why do you have to die?!”
his eyes so full of shame

I saw something right there and then
Just before I left this place
A loving and sadness in his eyes
And at the same time disgrace

And with my final breath
I whispered to my loved one
“I love you so very much”
And with that I was done.
