She's got this picture in her head of leaving

Feels like there's nothing left, for no good reason

How could he hit her, she's wasn't born a quitter

And she never deserved to be treated like that



She leaves a letter as she leaves his place

Still feeling all the bruises on her face

She only wanted to feel like she was wanted

And that all changed when he broke that bottle



And she said, you might have got the best of me

But you'll never get the rest of me



I'm not afraid to be who I am

'Cause nobody told me that I couldn't be that

I wanna scream like it's never been said

But mean it like a black tattoo

I don’t wanna care about what everyone says

I don't wanna live inside a past that's dead

I wanna touch down where miracles live

And show it like a black tattoo



She grabs her keys and she drives on down the road

Her thoughts are flashing through her mind like vertigo

But she knows if she stops that she'll just go back

Her mother told her she was smarter than that



What ever happened to the world, when did she stop dreaming

No matter what she never stopped believing

She said I want a life that's filled with meaning

I don't want anything else and she said



And she said, you might have got the best of me

But you'll never get the rest of me



I'm not afraid to be who I am

'Cause nobody told me that I couldn't be that

I wanna scream like it's never been said

But mean it like a black tattoo

And I don’t wanna care about what everyone says

I don't wanna live inside a past that's dead

I wanna touch down where miracles live
