Lyrics
That Man Written by Kym Gouchie 2016
Saw an old friend of mine
She said it’s been a long-long time
Held my hand up to my face
To hide the bruise from yesterday
She asked “What happened to you?”
I replied “It’s nothing new”
“He’s a monster he’s my friend
I love him so but hate him when”
Surrendered everything I had
Years went by the good went bad
Demons crept in from his past
Destroying everything in their path
CHORUS: Nobody could understand
Why I stayed with this man
Nobody could understand
Why I stayed with this man
There were more good times than bad
But the good times didn’t last
Nowhere to run no place to hide
Victim of his selfish pride
CHORUS
Saw an old friend of mine
She said “You’re looking mighty fine”
Held my head up nice and high
Spread my wings
I learned to fly
Nobody could understand
Why I stayed with that man
Nobody could understand
Why I stayed with that man
Nobody could understand (repeat 3 x)
