Lyrics
He took away my first born
My life was torn apart
I tried to leave
Know the signs
It’s never too late to leave
Know the signs
I can no longer be hurt now
My life is finally better
I’m finally free
Know the signs
It’s never too late to leave
Know the signs
He will never be forgiven
I have my strength and courage back
He’s no longer, no longer in control
I’m sorry my daughter went through this
She’s missed every day
I miss her, I love her
Know the signs
It’s never too late to leave
Know the signs
