I Can't Get Out

5 O'clock and still I'm on my own

Better to be fast asleep when he comes home

Maybe not alone

Sometimes when I close my eyes I see

How much better life would be without him here

How alive I'd feel

But I can't get out, can't get out

I got just what I had coming to me

I can run all day but I can't get out

I've learned to move

And never make a sound

I make sure to shut my mouth when he's around

I talk too loud

And I can't get out, can't get out

This is all I know be

And I can't get out, no I can't get out

I got just what I had coming to me

I could run all day but I can't get out

I fell in love when I was seventeen

I turned into a wife

I swore I'd never be

But here I am

And I can't get out, I can't get out

This is all I know to be

And I can't get out, no I can't get out

I got just what I had coming to me

I can run all day but I can't get out

And I can't get out

No I can't get out

And I can't get out
