Listen, it’s quiet for the first time in your life
He was drunk and asleep
I stabbed him with a knife
Hush, girl - everything’s gonna be all right
Don’t worry, he’s not coming back
And I know what I did was right

Nobody’s perfect, but he was just bad
He sure wasn’t worth it
It was driving you mad
You would never had lasted
And you know it’s true
I did it for you, I promise I swear
I will carry you through

Listen, it’s quiet for the first time in your life
Go to sleep, rest your bones
‘Cause there ain’t gonna be no more fights
Trust me, girl - everything’s gonna be all right
Pack your bag get out of here
Just follow your inner light

Nobody’s perfect, but you’re not so bad
To see you get hurt
Would make me sad
You would never had lasted
And you know that that is true
I did it for you, I promise I swear
I will carry you through

I will carry you through
No more despair
No more screams
No more nightmares
So you can hear your dreams

Listen, it’s quiet for the first time in your life
Nobody’s perfect, but he was just bad
He sure wasn’t worth it
It was driving you mad
You would never had lasted
And you know it’s true
I did it for you

Nobody’s perfect, but you’re not so bad
To see you get hurt
Would make me sad
You would never had lasted
And you know that is true
I did it for you, I promise I swear
I will carry you through
