She was only 17
and forced to blame it on herself
that she hides away to tame the pain she feels
she was fallen to a scene
a drunken man a violent will
and the God that makes mistakes
and still pretends
[Chorus]
and I'll be strong
and I will say
and I will take your pain away
and I'll be strong
and I will say
and I will take your pain away
She was only trying to breath
her broken nails had sliced his skin
as he bruised her face she fades away again
when she came to at the scene
A fever wind and a match in hand
as she watched the flames she felt love again
