lyrics

The morning when she came home
The smell was the tell that told the tale of a hell to come
What had she done?

He knew before her key was in the door
She stumbled in, fell crying to the floor
Knew this would be the end

His heart was broken yet again
Story always ended right before it began
And then she ran

Back to the arms of the darkness she was made of
Hidden from her love in the center of the storm
There was no hope as far as she could see
But he did not agree

He found her passed out at the bar
Carried her home past the wreckage of her car
Like so many times before

Praying to God all the while
Help me to love, help me forgive, help me restore her smile
Every single time she goes

Back to the arms of the darkness she was made of
Hidden from her love in the center of the storm
There was no hope as far as she could see
But he did not agree

Back to the arms of the darkness she was made of
Hidden from her love in the center of the storm
There was no hope as far as she could see
There was no hope
There was no hope - as far as she could see
There was no hope - as far as she could see
But he did not agree
