Story behind the song
Take a Stand against domestic violence. I'm a survivor so this song is close to my heart...
Lyrics
Verse 1:
25-1:22
Secrets are shared
between the two of us
You tell me everything
because in me you trust
---------------------------------
I see that look in your eyes
he's trying to break your spirit
(but don't hear it)
Don't you dare compromise
be his demise and survive
------------------------
SO.....
Chorus:
1:23-1:50
Here we go
on the run
hold on tight
don't let go
I promise you
you'll be alright
just grab onto my hand....
as tight as you can
together we'll take a stand
We'll make it thru
I promise you
this too will pass
just take a stance
don't give up
make your luck
just grab onto my hand....
as tight as you can
together we'll take a stand
Verse 2:
1:50-2:44
Flowers and red wine
don't make up for all the black eyes
(and made you cry)
And I know that you realize
those thorns are really knives
------------------------------------
Time to reflect on his actions
and all his empty displays of affection
for the sake of getting what he wants
there's no care that you're distraught
SO....
Chorus:
2:45-3:13
Verse 3:
3:13-4:05
Safety now caresses your once broken bones
(and love heals your soul)
Getting out is only the first step
you'll be just fine; I'm willing to bet
-------------------------------------------
Swear to me you won't be swayed
by the promises he'll make
(don't even hesitate)
It's all a ruse
meant to continue his abuse
SO....
Chorus:
4:05-4:35
Bridge/Close:
4:35-5:05
