All she's asking is for a little more time,
  To walk away from his anger and leave the bruises far behind
  She won't talk about it...she's made up her mind
  But as the front door shuts behind her she whispers "give me a sign."
    Feels the power of the engine as she climbs to 65
  Every piston sounds like freedom, every white line says goodbye
  She'll find strength in her anger and the truth in his lies
  When the last scar finally fades she'll have a new life
    Say goodbye to Mr. Right
  Lock the door, turn out the light
  Pack your bags, leave this trap
  Run away, don't look back
  See another day with each new sun
  Your life has just begun
    She can still feel the touch of his hand
  Not just the violence but the warmth of her man
    The night she never felt so alive
  even though it feels so cold outside
  It's the first time I've ever seen her smile.
