This man can't begin to say
The terrible thing he did that day

His lips tremble and his face turns red
When he goes to the store with dread

People stare and give him dirty looks
He knows people read about him in books

Tries to hurry and look different but they know its him
So he scurries home afraid and turns the lights dim

Wonders how it all started and where it went wrong
Wife left him years ago she knew she didn't belong

He sits and tries to recall the blurry moments in his life
The times he spent beating and threatening her with a knife

Then he prays to God to please forgive
Asks for new things in his life to live

Wants the people to forgive and to settle
But its hard for them to forget the twisted metal

When he left the bar that night started his truck and drives
He didn't foresee the twisted metal shattered lives
