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 brother’s 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 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

Thanks JAPOV. Someone tossed me the word prison this morning and I just started writing.

Loosely. Nothing etched in stone. Just wrote lyrics this morning.

This is about someone who is most likely not habitual but snapped on an occasion. The moral to the story is not to try hard to control those you love. Could have disastrous consequences for all concerned parties.
