CAN SHE WALK AWAY

When he comes in
Will he be laughing, with loving on his mind
Or when he comes in
Will he be down and doing wrong this time
He's hurt her more than once or twice
But he can be so gentle and oh so nice
He's funny and kind all sugar and spice
Sometimes

CHORUS:
Can she walk away
Is it the right time
She weighs the good and the bad
Can she walk away
It's been a long time
And he's the best one she's ever had

He brings her pain
Other times it's roses for her hair
He brings her pain
Other times a kiss to show he cares
And she's hiding her bruises, but not too well
And it hurts so much in her living hell
She doesn't want to lose him, but she's sorry she fell
In love

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE: And she struggles with the battle in her heart
Self-inflicted wounds tear her apart
She loses either way in this fight
Is she crazy to keep on trying to make it right

There's fear in her heart
Can she feed him happiness tonight
And there's fear in her heart
That someone might do something that ain't right
And even though she's afraid of him
And she caters to his every whim
There's something deep inside of him that she loves

REPEAT CHORUS

He's the best one she's ever had
