  • She says, "I've got something to say"
    She knows that what she says will change everything
    She's laid through too many sleepless nights
    She's crying, she's crying, she's crying

    Mother, that man took my soul away
    Father, how could you ever treat me this way?
    Brother, don't ever let him do this again
    This time it's over, I'm gonna make it end
    Now it's over and the old man is dead
    Lying on the ground, bullet in his head

    She stood at the foot of the guilty bed last night
    She held what could set her free for the rest of her life
    She did all that she said that she planned to do
    She's through, she's through, she's through, yeah

    Mother, that man took my soul away
    Father, how could you ever treat me this way?
    Brother, don't ever let him do this again
    This time it's over, I'm gonna make it end
    Now it's over and the old man is dead
    Lying on the ground, bullet in his head

    There's a bullet in your head

    I kept falling down, look who's falling now
    I kept crying out, look who's crying now
    I kept falling down, look who's falling down
    On me, on me
    On me, on me

    "Now it's over"
    This is what she said
    He's lying on the ground
    Bullet in his head Writer/s: Bradley Kirk Arnold, Matthew Darrick Roberts, Robert Todd Harrell

  • Catt from Pensacola, FlThis song is angry; it embodies the feeling of the girl who was raped by her father. She finally has too much and feels that she has no choice but to kill her father at this point.
  • Joel from Columbia, MdEmotional stuff. Similar to Areosmith's Janie Got a Gun.
