"Distracted" lyrics

She fell down the stairs and opened her eyes
He's over the edge this time
He's all wound up from the nightmares
They make him loose his mind
She's distracted, lost the sense of the urgency tonight
The sense of the urgency tonight

For a couple of years she covered her eyes
And she'd give him hell sometimes
The makeup covered the bruises, but somehow made her blind
She got distracted, lost the sense of the urgency in life
The sense of the urgency in life

Can she save herself, save her from the nightmare
Save her from the nightmare he's become

She looks down the stairs, slips out the door
The floor creaks so loud at night
The keys fumbling in the ignition
This ride could turn the tide
While he's distracted
She finds the urgent need to survive
She's finding the urgent need to survive

Can she save herself, save her from the nightmare
Save her from the nightmare he's become

She's trying to brace herself
Just enough to sing
A little louder every day
She's trying to brace herself
Just enough to sing
A little louder every day

Can she save herself, save her from the nightmare
Save her from the nightmare he's become
She's holding here, it gets tiring pretending
She's tired of just waiting for it to end
