Lyrics

She wakes each morning
With a frozen smile
She lies there still
Collects herself for awhile and then she
Stumbles to the mirror to begin her day
Making up the lies and gently making up her face

She hides those bruises oh so well
She?s slowly dying livin?
In this livin? hell

Last time he swore it was the last time
He?d never hurt her again
But broken hearts and promises
Pour out of empty bottles
And the last time becomes the last time again

She had a suitcase in the closet
Hidden on a shelf he wouldn?t see
That day she started packin? her memories
But the wedding pictures made her believe

Maybe the last time was the last time
He?d ever hurt her again
But broken hearts and promises
Pour out of empty bottles
And the last time becomes the last time again

Last time he swore it was the last time
He?d ever hurt her again
But broken hearts and promises
Pour out of empty bottles
And the last time becomes the last time again
The last time becomes the last time again
The last time became the last time again

Unanswered questions fall like tears
As all her friends file by
And she lies there so quietly
Still with her frozen smile
