We get together once a week To bare our souls in my back seat She makes me wear my heart on my sleeve She cried a bit, I act the fool We reminisce about high school I ask her why she didn't choose me And she said, Help me get outta here The walls are closing in I wanna be gone before he comes back again Help me get outta here I need to get outta here Before I do something crazy She wears makeup to hide the scars Got bruises up and down her arms And the coward's name tattooed on her wrist She says that she's afraid to leave She says someday he's gonna kill me 'Cause when he's drunk he talks with his fists She said, Help me get outta here The walls are closing in I wanna be gone before He comes back again Help me get outta here I need to get outta here Before I do something crazy And you've suffered for much too long Baby he can't get to you Through my armsI may not be your personal Christ But you don't have pray in vain 'Cause I'll be by your side I'll help you get outta here If the walls are closing in But we better be gone before He comes back again I'll help you get outta here We better get outta here Before I do something crazy Something crazy I do something crazy
