She is an angel, but she bears the scars
Of thinking love would protect her, be her magic charm
She wears violent bruises upon her skin
Knows that leaving him is the only way the only way to win

'Cos she's running tonight from the hurt and the shame
Running tonight escaping the pain
Running tonight hopes it will work out right
She said she's running, running tonight

She wakes in the morning still wrapped in his arms
He begs her forgiveness she says it's his final chance
She wears violent bruises upon her skin
Knows that leaving him is the only way the only way to win

'Cos she's running tonight from the hurt and the shame
Running tonight escaping the pain
Running tonight hopes it will work out right
She said she's running, running tonight

She is an angel, living in hell
He said he'd love her and protect her
She wears violent bruises upon her skin
Says that leaving him is the only way, the only way to win

'Cos she's running tonight from the hurt and the shame
Running tonight escaping the pain
Running tonight hopes it will work out right
She said she's running, running tonight
