Tough Love

There she sits in an empty room
The look on her face says it all
A bruise appears round a crying eye
As the tear drops sadly fall
He knocked her over he hit her
And told her she’s stupid
HeЎЇs high as a kite once again
She knows that tough love is needed
To save the love of her friend
There he sits in a freezing car
She’s in her bed in the warm
The cold light of the morning sky
Finds him cramped and looking worn
He wanders inside on tiptoes
And brews up some coffee
HeЎЇs shaking and sweating again
She knows that tough love is needed
To save the love of her friend
They talk it over but it’s not easy
Sorting it out
She cannot take it when he tells lies
And sneaks off out of the room
Returning like somebody’s lost balloon
Tea leaves sit in an empty cup
No expression on his face
The TV’s showing commercials
He’s back in her arms again
