He's standing in the doorway
I hear every word exchanged
From his lying mouth
To her bleeding soul
And I've seen it all before
When she can't take it anymore he'll say
I love you, won't you stay
And her heart cries out
But it just won't let her go
And she sings me to sleep
With a broken hearted lullaby
"Just close your eyes
Everything'll be alright."
She knows all the right excuses
A little make up to hide the bruises
And it rips my heart in two
I can barely stand the way
She smiles to hide the pain
She needs his loves to feel complete
But its not love she recieves
Her tears are so silent
And how I hate the quiet
And she sings me to sleep
With a broken hearted lullaby
"Just close your eyes
Everything'll be alright"
Please be alright.
Sing me to sleep
That broken hearted lullaby
I can't close my eyes
It's not alright
