On that first morning
With your hands around my neck
Was that some kinda joke
Or what I could expect
I tried to be good
To do what I thought I should
Never enough
I gave til I was broke
Trapped in my own home
You had me by the throat
I tried to be good
To do what I thought I should
Sipping spirits on the bathroom floor
Whispers through the bedroom door
Seemed like you always wanted more
So much I wish I'd known before
I tried to be good
To do what I thought I should
I tried to be good
To do what I thought I should
You wore me down
You never let me say no
You used my mistakes
And as you stepped on me you rose
Still I tried to be good
To do what I thought I should
Oh I tried to be good
To do what I thought I should
Oh I tried to be good
To do what I thought I should
I tried to be good
To do what I thought I should
