BEHIND CLOSED DOORS(song about abuse)
(Verse 1)
She flinches at the footsteps creeping up the stairs,
Knows the way the floorboards creak means he’s already halfway there.
Last night he grabbed her by the wrists ’til they turned purple-black,
Left fingerprints on her skin like he was signing his attack.
The mirror cracked when he shoved her and she fell against the sink,
Her blood mixed with the water as she tried not to think.
(Pre-Chorus)
She whispered through the ringing in her ears,
“If I don’t leave now… I might not see tomorrow.”
Chorus
’Cause she’s tired of wiping tears from cuts he caused,
Tired of stitching up her skin between his angry outbursts.
He turned their home into a battlefield of broken doors and shattered trust—
Tonight she’s done with hiding… she won’t be silent anymore.
(Verse 2)
He waits ’til she’s cornered, backs her against the wall,
Slams his fist beside her face just to watch her fall.
She’s learned the sound of violence like a language he speaks fluently—
The crack of knuckles, the breath he takes before he loses empathy.
Her ribs ache from the last time he swore it was the final blow,
But promises mean nothing when his rage starts to grow.
Pre-Chorus
She stares at her bruised reflection and mutters low,
“If I stay another night… he might go too far.
Chorus
She’s tired of covering black eyes with shaky hands,
Tired of praying he’ll calm down while he tightens his demands.
He made a battlefield out of love, turned every room into a war—
Tonight she grabs her keys… she won’t be silent anymore.
Bridge
Her heart’s racing like a gunshot as she slips out through the door,
With shaking hands and swollen lips she swears she’s not his anymore.
No more bleeding on the bathroom floor while he screams that it’s her fault,
No more waking up dizzy, wondering if her pulse might halt.
Final Chorus
She’s done letting him rewrite her story with fists and fear,
Done living in a house where every whisper feels severe.
With every bruise she’s carried, she builds the strength he never saw—
Tonight she claims her freedom back…
And leaves him staring at the aftermath of what he’s done.
