Lyrics What's Good for You - Deviant, Jerry Ess

What's Good for You

When she was young she was told in life
One day you’ll make a good wife
We give our souls for the sweeter times
She swears she should’ve known something wasn’t right
Let the devil in the door in the dark night
She knew it didn’t feel right
Now she’s waiting for the moment to break
From his grip on her arm that’s so tight
Get out, get out
You’ve gotta get out of here
She’s in trouble now, what to do?
I guess she never really ever knew
How to feel, how to love, that a shove ain’t a hug
That mummy’s bruises weren’t normal as she grew
So clueless
It’s not her fault she was only young, but
It isn’t hard to see the damage that he’s done
Better run, better run, better run
He hits the bottle every minute he gets
And when he’s out he takes it out on her you wouldn’t suspect it
Cos he’s empty as the bottles littering the kitchen bench
She’s tense, every time she hears the door and smells the liquor stench
You fuckin oxygen thief, giving her grief
It’s all I think about and now I can’t stop grinding my teeth
I hear her screaming in the middle of the night while you sleep peacefully
It’s almost as if you were 6ft deep (if only)
Get out, get out
You’ve gotta get out of here
Lying on this couch of bad decisions and dreams
Where the thought of ever after is as bad as it seems
Where the idea of what you wanted left you checking your sleeves
Hoping that shiver is the ice in the breeze
Run run faster now
Wouldn’t pick you to hold me down
Hard to hide in this small town
When those before have tried and drowned
Run run harder now
Hear the footsteps on the ground
Keep your eyes straight don’t turn around
Just one more step you’re homeward bound
Get out, get out
You’ve gotta get out of here
Get out of here
