Another statement through another IOU
Just one more skeleton she'll need to hide away
She's terrified just one more to ignore
And she's growing tired of these reminders
And he says You better keep it together
We said we'd never let the kids go through this
It mounts up she's a broken woman
Walking round elbows out knuckles
locked on her neck and her knees all weak
Those of us walking past all become blind
and deaf when she tries to speak
He left a note for her he said the kids were safe
And although it’s modest he said they're settled down
They don't ask questions they know what is best
It mounts up she's a broken woman
Walking round elbows out knuckles
locked on her neck and her knees all weak
Those of us walking past all become blind
and deaf when she tries to speak
What little that she has that she carries
around tells her what she's missed
But the things that she packed when
she left give her life some significance
She can't stop for too long
what's been done will always follow her
