IT’S DRIVING ME INSANE

V1
Looking through these prison bars
Reflecting where I am…
Twenty-five to life they said
As the gavel slowly fell…
Now my days are structured for me
My nights silent and dark….
I took his life
As I said I would
Stabbed him with a knife

Ch:
The sight of all the bruises
Hit me hard
Gash upon her forehead
Black and blue around her arms
She pleaded with me saying
He won’t do this again….
But there shouldn’t have been a first time
And it’s driving me insane

V2
Restraining order put in place
She’s moving out today…
Her brothers there to help her
Get away from all the craze….
Suddenly a knocking sound
Comes from the front door…..
As her brother opens it
He’s shot
And his body hits the floor

V3:
She’s running through the kitchen
Past the back door to escape….
Another shot rings out
As she accepts her fate…
The words her father told her
Run slowly through her mind…
There shouldn’t have been
A first time
And it’s driving me insane

Bridge:
I caught him ten years later
Another town another state
Time can make you sloppy
You let your guard down you feel safe
As I shoved the knife into his
Chest repeatedly
The words I told my daughter
Kept coming back to me

Post Chorus:
There shouldn’t have been a first time
And it’s driving me insane
Then I heard her voice say to me
He... won’t…. do this….. again
