Pulled Under

Pulled Under (a song)

She hides her bruises
with makeup and sleeves.
No one ever sees
the marks he leaves.
Behind her dark glasses,
the tears she cries.
She lies and lies
and no one will realize…

That she’s caught in a cycle,
she’ll never get out.
She’s too scared to notice,
to scream or to shout.
She’s caught in a nightmare,
they’ll never understand.
But she swears that she loves her man.
She’s being pulled under again.

He stumbles towards her
and she shrinks in fear.
Nobody will hear,
nobody will care.
The world is all sleeping,
there’s a cry in the dark.
Her eyes lose their spark,
she is lost to the dark.

She’s caught in a cycle,
she’ll never get out.
She’s too scared to notice,
to scream or to shout.
She’s caught in a nightmare,
they’ll never understand.
But she swears that she loves her man.
She’s being pulled under again.

In the morning the sun will rise,
but there’s a beautiful girl who won’t open her eyes.
Laying all alone on the living room floor,
she won’t have to suffer anymore.

She’s caught in a cycle,
she’ll never get out.
She’s too scared to notice,
to scream or to shout.
She’s caught in a nightmare,
they’ll never understand.
Still she stood by her man.
And now she’s been pulled under…again.
