The Night Is Bleeding Lyrics - Singles - Devon

Everybody envied me as I 

Walked down the aisle 

Picture perfect wedded bliss 

A pair of matching smiles 

I never knew what kind of man he was 

It took me by surprise 

The day he grabbed me by the hair 

And glared at me with reaper's eyes 

Now the night is bleeding 

The law protects a man who beats his wife 

The night is bleeding 

The law ignores a woman pleading for her life 

Your paper handcuffs couldn't stop him 

They never even slowed him down 

I had to worry he'd be standing there 

Every time I turned around 

You believed him when he said I deserved it 

You believed him when he spun his lies 

You even nodded when he said he was so sorry 

Your callus ears ignored my cries 

Now the night is bleeding 

The law protects a man who beats his wife 

The night is bleeding 

The law ignores a woman pleading for her life 

Treat the symptom, ignore the disease 

There's no such thing as an idle threat 

We all know, we all know 

Where it leads 

Where were you when he said he was coming 

Where were you when I said I was scared 

Where were you when he kicked down the door 

And where were you when he threw me down the stairs 

Where were you 

Where were you 

The night is bleeding 

You say you're here to serve and protect 

But you ignore and reject my cries for help 

The night is bleeding 

The night is bleeding
