Distracted
The Loved Ones

She fell down the stairs and opened her eyes
He’s over the edge this time
He’s all wound up from the nightmares
They make him loose his mind
She’s distracted, lost the sense of the urgency tonight,
lost sense of the urgency tonight

For a couple of years she covered her eyes
And she’d give him hell sometimes
The makeup covered the bruises, but somehow made her blind
She got distracted, lost the sense of the urgency in life,
lost sense of the urgency in life
Can she save herself, save her from the nightmare,
save her from the nightmare he’s become

She looks up the stairs, slips out the door
The floor creaks so loud at night
The keys fumbling in the ignition
This ride could turn the tide
While he’s distracted she finds the urgent need to survive,
she finds the urgent need to survive
Can she save herself, save her from the nightmare,
save her from the nightmare he’s become

She’s holding here, it’s tiring pretending
She’s tired from just waiting for it to end

She’s been hanging round on this side of town missing opportunities
She wants to brace herself just enough to sing a little louder every day, yeah
A little louder every day
She runs up our stairs, it floods her eyes
She’s smiling for real this time

No makeup to cover the bruises, no more running through life blind
She just got distracted, but she’s finding the will and the strength to survive,
she’s finding the will and the strength to survive
And it saves her from, saves her from the nightmare,
saves her from the nightmare he’s become
She’s holding here, she’s tired of pretending
Tired of just waiting for it to end
