She Goes Back

She goes back
Doesn’t matter what he says
Doesn’t matter what he does
She goes back

He lies and he steals
Apologizes and appeals
Buys more disease and breaks the seal
She’s lost her nerve and she can’t feel

She goes back
She goes back
Nothin’ changes but
She goes back


Falls on his face and she picks him back up
Pushes him back down, lifts him up again
Pushes her away, pulls her back in
Forty plus, a child among men

We used to think she was smart
Got straight A’s, top of the class
She says she just follows her heart
Don’t let it go if it’s made of glass
