A room door smashes
the hinges fall to the floor
young child crying
can't take it anymore
mother fighting
father drunk and
drinking some more
hear momma crying
as the child picks up the phone
9-1-1 calling; now
policeman at the door
momma already lying
putting on a show
Just another fight --
have a good night --
and she closes the door
now he's lying promises hurt us anymore
she loves him so much - our pain they ignore.
