Six months passed by
The truth finally sank in
Six months passed by
She knew it had to end

He begged and he pleaded
She tried not to listen
He begged and he pleaded
Her wall began to weaken

He threatened to leave
To no longer exist
He threatened to leave
By slitting his wrists

They slipped into a cycle
He threatened to take his life
They slipped into a cycle
He wanted her to be his wife

Three times she took him back
Afraid she'd feel the guilt
Three times she took him back
She shudders, wrapped in her quilt

Two weeks before Valentine's Day
She made a difficult decision
Two weeks before Valentine's Day
Planning to dump him took careful precision

She thinks of how it all led back
To a certain, fateful night
She thinks of how it all led back
To one, September night
