inch away - steve drewett lyrics
she’s finally gone
it has taken her so long
but the beatings went on
and he started on the kids
she thought the thing through
picked them up from school
then fled into the night
chorus:
she was so scared she was paralysed
he held a knife
an inch away from her face
he’d break down and cry
and beg forgiveness once again
but she’d heard all those lies
far too many times
she’d make herself look good like any girl would
the makeup hides the scars
chorus:
she was so scared she was paralysed
he held a knife
an inch away from her face
well, times are hard
without money spent on booze
you can’t call the police, you know
there is nothing they can do
it’s domestic you see and anyway
who the h*ll do you think they’d believe
she said i’ve got to go, i’m not safe in my home
but what the h*ll’s it like out there
chorus:
she was so scared she was paralysed
he held a knife
an inch away from her face
the holiday snaps don’t tell the truth
the good times, they will haunt you
but they were so few
she’s finally gone, it has taken her so long
but the beatings went on and he started on the kids
a beautiful girl of fourteen years
how the h*ll could he harm her
chorus:
she was so scared she was paralysed
he held a knife
an inch away from her face
well, the blade wasn’t used
but they were both stabbed through the heart
by the cold icy chill of a thought
that this was just the start
the beginning of the end
