Bruises
She tries to hide the bruises
She says it wasn't him
But sometimes he loses his temper
And again he'll come home and look for a fight
But she tells herself it's all right
She hopes someday it's all right
She doesn't tell anybody but everyone can tell
That there's something she's hiding
She hasn't been herself
But she still goes out every night
She tells herself it's all right
She hopes someday it's all right
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She has to make excuses for all of this abuse
And it's sad the truth is she's scared of what he'll do
If she'd ever walk out of his life
So she tells herself it's all right
She hopes someday it's all right
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She sits and she waits
It's not getting any better
It's never too late
But she knows it's now or never
She'll get up the strength to stand up to him tonight
She knows that it's all right
It's all right
She says today she's leaving
She says she's had enough
Sick of being mistreated
She knows that isn't love
So tonight she's saying goodbye
And she tells herself it's all right
Yeah, she knows she's gonna make it tonight
Yeah, she's finally going on with her life
And she knows that it's all right
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She sits and she waits
It's not getting any better
It's never too late
But she knows it's now or never
She'll get up the strength to stand up to him tonight
And she knows that it's all right
