Most nights I can block out your voice
Screaming at me, why do you scream?
Most nights I can think myself away
To a wonderful place far away
Most nights I can even block out the pain

But tonight as you scream and throw things at me
How can I not cry?
How can I not want to crawl away?
I just want to get away
Please, God, help me get away

Most nights you try to drink yourself away
While I try to stay out of your way
Most nights fists swing, doors slam
How can this be a normal life?
Most nights I try not to let you see my pain.

But tonight as you scream and throw things at me
How can I not cry?
How can I not flinch away from you?
I just need to get away.
Please, God, help me get away.

Most nights I dream I’m back in that house
Most nights I wake up with tears on my face.
Is this how it’s supposed to be?
Is this how I’m supposed to live?
Most nights I’m still fighting for my life.

I finally got away from
You screaming and throwing things at me
Every night I try not to cry
Every night…
I finally got away.
God helped me get away.
