I didn't want to have to go
but there was no other way
the man that i married
was so different on our wedding day

I don't know where things went wrong
it all seems like such a blur
i didn't want to have to go
but i had to leave... for her

we planted our roots together
he was sweet and he was smart
but i never would have chose this life
if i had seen it from the start

the demons inside him kept growing
and soon enough they started showing
between all the dishes he was throwing
i decided that we were going

took my little girl by the hand
and we snuck out the front door to the car
no destination in mind...
we just needed to go far...

daddy's having a really bad day
that don't make the thing's daddy said okay
that's why i had to take you away
and we don't have somewhere else to stay

daddy's having a really bad day...
that don't make the thing's daddy said okay...
that's why i had to take you away...
and we don't have somewhere else to stay...

but i promise, you'll be alright
my arms will be your home tonight
my arms will be your home tonight
