Lyrics
Every passing moment she feels like sinking
When she moves he hollers, he slaps her without blinking
To others just a girl, to her family just a - broken down note
She hides somewhere so she won't get hurt
There's a bangin' on the door, as she holds onto her picture
A picture that shows a perfect family but - it's not true reality
Where will she go?
Where will she go?
She could, she could be me
And she could, find her peace
She could, she could be me
And she could, now she's free
The knife is over there, use it if you dare
Small but firm (but) in this world no one cares
She whimpers at the pain, she tries to shout with her - brain reeling
The banging stopped as she fell to the ground screaming
All the sounds went away, sadly she began dreaming
Looking up she sees something so clear - burning blood with no tears
How can she go?
How can she go?
She could, she could be me
And she could, find her peace
She could, she could be me
And she could, now she's free, free -
She looked to her side at the red rose
A gift that gave her hope to go on
She tried to grab it as blood soaked her clothes - held on tight and soon she was gone
Why do we never know?
Why do we never know?
She could, she could be me
And she could, find her peace
She could, she could be me
And she could, now she's free
She could, she could be me yeah -
And she could, now she's - she's free
