"He walked the line, but drew his own /
She left bruises on the phone /
She wished she could break his bones /
When screaming turned to dial tone /
Vile home, made of glass /
Threw sticks and stones as people passed /
No porch swing, no welcome mat /
A single sign: 'keep off the grass' /
She fought the past, he bought the future /
Even with a plan, you can never be too sure /
Sutures on her broken ribs /
She had love she'd hoped to give /
To perfect kids, a perfect husband /
But what in this life's perfect? nothing /
Worse is something much like fate /
Run your whole life but can't escape"
