Inch Away it has taken her so long but the beatings went on and he started on the kids She thought the thing through, picked them up from school then fled into the night. Chorus: She was so scared she was paralysed he held a knife, an inch away from her face. He'd break down and cry and beg forgiveness once again but she'd heard all those lies, far too many times She'd make herself look good like any girl would the makeup hides the scars. Chorus Well, times are hard, without money spent on booze you can't call the police, you know, there is nothing they can do its domestic you see and anyway, who the hell do you think they'd believe She said I've got to go, I'm not safe in my home but what the hell's it like out there. Chorus The holiday snaps don't tell the truth the good times, they will haunt you but they were so few. She's finally gone, it has taken her so long but the beatings went on and he started on the kids a beautiful girl of fourteen years how the hell could he harm her Chorus Well, the blade wasn't used, but they were both stabbed through the heart by the cold icy chill of a thought that this was just the start, the beginning of the end.
