She flips on the light
And she looks in the mirror
She cries to herself
It's becoming much clearer
That he's not where he says
He's not hanging with her
She flips off the light
And she turns with a shiver
And when he comes home
His embrace is so cold
It's like being caught
In a rough strangle hold
Now her resolve's gaining strength
To tell him so long
But for now she'll just keep hanging on.
Cause the little things remind her
Of the good times they have had
Whenever she recalls those things
It's hard to think that he's so bad.
It seems no matter where she goes
She can hear their song on the radio, radio
And when she does she smiles to it
But no matter how hard she tries
She can't turn it off
Or let it die, let it die
Even though she knows
He's running her to ruin.
She's falling in love
With a new boy and his smile
But she can't admit
To herself her heart's run wild
Her story time dreams
Of a fairy tale life
Are holding her back
To keep fighting this lost fight
Where she still holds on
To the hope he might change
But a hundred percent
Of the time he's the same
And now her heart has been smashed
Her will has been broke
But she clings to the end of that rope.
Cause the little things remind her
Of the good times they have had
Whenever she recalls those things
It's hard to think that he's so bad.
It seems no matter where she goes
She can hear their song on the radio, radio
And when she does she smiles to it
But no matter how hard she tries
She can't turn it off
Or let it die, let it die
Even though she knows
He's running her to ruin.
It seems no matter where she goes
She can hear their song on the radio, radio
And when she does she smiles to it
But no matter how hard she tries
She can't turn it off
Or let it die, let it die
Even though she knows
He's driving her to ruin
