lyrics

You gave me
A beautiful character's soul
And I took it right into me
I believed
As I pictured
The eyes of our unborn children

You are a user
A desperate abuser
How many more girls will suffer at your way?
I know that you know what it is that your doing
Medication can't help you now
I'm onto you, I'm onto you man, yeah YOU...

Three women caught up in your lies
Terrified of the suicide that you're never gonna do, never gonna do it
I wish you would not put me through this

I've been so afraid
To tell them what you're doing
In case you come in the night
With a knife or a gun or a lie,
I am alone and I am afraid

I found out your story
There were holes right through
This moth-eaten yarn
And I forgave him
Can you believe it?
Then more came
I realised how much he was playing a part

You're an abuser
A desperate user
So many more girls would suffer from your way
But they'll never know
What it is you were doing
Tonight by the light
I stand alone and unafraid
