No-one knows her secret, she's always hid it well
Her old man said he'd kill her if she would ever tell
What happened behind closed doors that sunny summer day
What happened in her childhood when mother was away
She left home on the same day she cashed her first pay cheque
Made her way to the big town where she could start afresh
She made friends and had a life forgot about the past
Met a guy and they went out, she hoped that it would last
She ain't been home in years since she ran away in tears
He made her laugh, he seemed to care and said "I love you" first
But he was a drunk and lost his job their marriage hit the dust
Is it too late now to get away from what he calls their life
When he wants her as a cash point doesn't want her as a wife
She ain't been home in years since she ran away in tears
The love she craved has died so she hung herself inside
