Domestic Abuse: New Beginnings

I choose the "caution" icon because some of the lyrics are chilling so please read w/caution.  I heard this song on the radio but it's not a new one.  I hadn't heard this song in a looooong time.

He's drunk again, it's time to fight
She must have done something wrong tonight
The living room becomes a boxing ring
He's time to run when you see him
Coming licking his hands
She's just a woman
Never Again

I hear a scream, from down the hall
Amazing she can even talk at all
She cries to me, Go back to bed
I'm terrified, She'll wind up Dead
In his hands, She's just a woman
Never Again

Been there before, but not like this
Seen it before, but not like this
Never before have I have
Seen him this bad
She's just a woman
Never Again

Just tell the nurse, you slipped and fell
It starts to sting as it starts to swell
She looks at you, she wants the truth
It's right out there in the waiting room
With those hands
Lookin just as sweet as he can
Never Again

Seen it before, but not like this
Been there before, but not like this
Never before have I have
Seen him this bad
She's just a woman
Never Again

Father's a name you haven't earned yet
You're just a child with a temper
Haven't you heard "Don't hit a lady"?
Kickin' your a-- would be a pleasure

He's drunk again, it's time to fight
Same old stuff, just on a different night
She grabs the gun, she's had enough
Tonight she'll find out just how 
Tough is this man
Pulls the trigger just as fast as she can
Never Again

Seen it before, but not like this
Been there before, but not like this
Never before have I have
Seen him this bad
She's just a woman
Never Again

A delay is not a denial - keep praying.

         

i've loved that song since it first came out...it makes me teary but its also a good song when i feel angry or need to vent...

I've actually got some of their CD's and Nickelback is one of my many fav bands.  I remember listening to that song when they released that particular CD and hadn't heard that song in a long time.  When I heard it on the radio the other day, I thought, wow, now I haven't heard that in forever.  Another musical artist voicing out domestic abuse and it needs to be heard because DV really is a crime and shouldn't be silenced. 

Hope you are having a good day :-)

Hey there wish!! I was just getting ready to post to ya! ;-) I LOVE Nickleback and ironically when that song came out it was my Ex I went to the concert with. The lyrics of that song never phased him and never will but it holds deep meaning for me....

I was getting ready to post that I think-of-you every time I hear "To the left". Before you posted about that song I hadn’t paid much attention to the lyrics. Now every time I hear it I think of you, and our Atlanta station plays it several times a day. So I think of you often!! LOL....

Hope you are having a fabulous day!!
