| In the glare of a neon light (sign)She laid her body downA man walked in beside herAnd laid his money downHe said don t try to scream nowBut I want this one to hurtTonight my pretty oneI m gonna get my money s worthShe said they never listenedShe said they d never understandThat I don t this for pleasureI just do it cause I canI swear I didn t want toAnd I swear I didn t knowThat things like this could happen to a 17-year oldAnd I ve bundled up all of these things insideAnd I ve bottled up all of this painAnd no one or nothing can take this awayBut I won t let it happen againNever againIn the haze of a smoky roomHe chokes that bottle downIt s been a month since her saw her face underneath the blood stained gownHe thinks about that little girl and the one he has at homeAnd wonders what if that was my little girl walkin down that road aloneMaybe I m just crazy or the devil got insideBut either way my soul is goneI ve learned this all nightThe one hand throws the whiskeyand the other throws the gunAs he cries out to the heavensI am not my father s sonAnd I ve bundled up all of these things insideAnd I ve bottled up all of this painAnd no one or nothing can take this awayBut I won t let it happen againNever againI ve bundled up all of these fears insideAnd I ve bottled up all of this painAnd no one or nothing can take this awayI won t let it happen againNever againNever againNoNever again |
