Viewing lyrics for Get Away by Elaine McMilian.

Get Away

You gotta get away from her
She's bringing you down, bringing you down
You gotta get away from her
She's bringing you down, bringing you down

Why do you stay? Is it the shame?
Another relationship failed
Your face is so sad, the house is a mess
Life has become your own jail
Afraid of alone, afraid of change
It's been a long hard road and now
Barely alive, barely sane

CHORUS

Why do you stay? Is it the child?
But it's late, now he's learned it all wrong
Screaming trash, swearing hate
Even the air feels loud
He hides in his room under piles of toys
The tension explodes as the fighting grows
End it soon before the child implodes

CHORUS

Save the child, save yourself
Grab the boy and your strength and your self respect
And move on, move on, you gotta move on, move on

You gotta get away from her
Her cover is blown, the evil is out
You gotta get away from her
She's bringing you down, bringing you down
You gotta get away from her
She's bringing you down, bringing you down
You gotta get away from her
She's bringing you down, bringing you down, down, down...
