Looking out the window she knows
Any minute he will be home
So she shuffles all her dreaming to the back of her mind
And gets ready for the nightmare that comes in after five

I believe that the end will come today
I can not be here with you, I want to go away
I didn't see this coming, or I looked the other way
And now I lay here waiting for the daylight

Gravel under tires she groans
The night begins and once more he shows
That a fist against her body surely keeps her in line
With a passage from the Bible justifying his crime.

I believe that the end will come today
It wouldn't really matter, I'm dying anyway
I wanted to be something, but I never thought this way
Just one of us will be here in the daylight

Not another night of drinking
Another fu*king bruise she's thinking
Of what a stronger woman might have done
Would it be so bad to listen
To the wind that lately whispers
Time has come, your time has come

I believe that the end will come today
I will not fade away here and I hate to have to say
I smiled at my reflection as the barrel smoked away
You'll never see the daylight
There's the daylight.
