lyrics
-------
double check, she's a mess, it's the way she's treated
loveless wreck, house arrest, bruising from the beating
on the chest, or the neck, when the room gets heated
not a drill, just a test, where she's always graded
so she saved up money in a box under the mattress
if she was gonna do it she was gonna make sure it happened
and we all stood by on the other side
while she indulged her pride
she sleeps alone tonight again
and we all stood by with a blinded eye
we saw her take his life
we let her claim her own again
quiet man, minivan, perfect model neighbor
people talk, gossip shock, but they don’t believe her
all the press, mourning dress, photo in the paper
wedded bliss, murderess, but she’s sleeping better
she tried to find a way to get herself back on the level
she never found a god but she put a ring on the devil
he's below and she's inside without an alibi
no way to live this life
two wrongs don't make a right, they said
and nobody wonders why all her tears run dry
she used to be outside
and now she waits until the end
25 to life but she's always been a captive
he made her feel alone and he made her feel unattractive
now her mother sits at home and thinks about her time
between the truth and lies
that night the world around them died
when she visits once a week she sees a fading light
she lost a losing fight
and now she sleeps alone again - tonight
double check, she's a mess, it's the way she's treated
loveless wreck, house arrest, bruising from the beating
on the chest, or the neck, when the room gets heated
not a drill, just a test, where she's always graded
so she saved up money in a box under the mattress
if she was gonna do it she was gonna make sure it happened
and we all stood by on the other side
while she indulged her pride
she sleeps alone tonight again
and we all stood by with a blinded eye
we saw her take his life
we let her claim her own again
quiet man, minivan, perfect model neighbor
people talk, gossip shock, but they don’t believe her
all the press, mourning dress, photo in the paper
wedded bliss, murderess, but she’s sleeping better
she tried to find a way to get herself back on the level
she never found a god but she put a ring on the devil
he's below and she's inside without an alibi
no way to live this life
two wrongs don't make a right, they said
and nobody wonders why all her tears run dry
she used to be outside
and now she waits until the end
25 to life but she's always been a captive
he made her feel alone and he made her feel unattractive
now her mother sits at home and thinks about her time
between the truth and lies
that night the world around them died
when she visits once a week she sees a fading light
she lost a losing fight
and now she sleeps alone again - tonight
