lyrics

See the sun track 'cross the carpet
Watch the day go by
She's been waiting there for something
You can ask her why
But she doesn't know at all
She can't even catch herself
When she falls
Now the suns coming down
Just like an angry hand
Beating her down again
The sky's bleeding red
Oh the sky's bleeding red
Fading to purple night
Seeping beneath her skin
And he reads her like a story in a book he found
Everyday he tears a page out then he puts her down
She learns her lesson well
Without a step out of line, or soul to tell
Now the sun's going down, just like an angry hand
Beating her down again
The sky's bleeding red, oh the sky's bleeding red
Fading to purple night, seeping beneath her skin
He locks the door, he pulls the shade
She fakes a smile, he looks away
She shuts her eyes and flies away
See the sun creep in the window
Here's another day
See the bruises in the mirror
Then she looks away
And tries to see nothing at all
And through his apology
She feels herself start to fall
Now the sun's coming down
Just like an angry hand beating her down again
The sky's bleeding red, oh the sky's bleeding red
Fading to purple night, seeping beneath her skin
