I’m a Gulf War Vet with PTSD.
He was a Maine state trooper, strong, and brave.
I thought he could protect me
keep all the hurt away.

When the drinking started hell began
He’d scream, ‘I know what I’m doing I am a cop
I could easily shoot you if I want.
People tell you, you should leave, but it’s not that easy.

Something’s wrong with him, I don't feel safe.
He says how much he hates me everyday
I tried to call the State Police, they said “just let it be”
They wouldn’t do a thing, don’t want to see.
No one’s above the cops - a thick blue line.
That blue wall hid and it protected hi - m
People tell you you should leave, but it’s not that easy

[CHORUS]

You call for help but there’s no one who comes
I didn’t stop shaking for days and days
I’ve had to beg and plea-d. And still I pay the Price
He was the guilty one but I still bleed
He knows right where I live. Can’t sleep at night
He walked away. I live with all this fear
People tell you you should leave, but it’s not that easy

[CHORUS]

I am the hero
I always hoped for peace
But I will dream again.
I’ll love myself again.
I’ll get back what he stole.
I’ll walk out my front do- -or
and breathe
I will live
I’m still here
I’m still here
I’m still here.
