Barstool Prophets - Robin's Song lyrics

She was the most innocent by far She never ran a light or told a lie or even seen a falling star She walked through this world with a ringing in her ears It was a sound that dampened all her hopes and heightened all her fears The sound was caused by an angry voice loud in the night And she knew no matter what she did she couldn't stop its fright Whoa-oh And her life was so confused All the days and nights were filled with pain because she knew she was being used Whoa-oh And he was just too strong And as he held her down with words of hate She sang Robin's Song He was a villain dressed in black With a disposition harsh enough To send shivers down your back He turned his back on her for spite As he sowed his oats in other fields Almost each and every night Sure it was OK for him to fool around But if he saw her eye on another guy Well, he'd knock her six feet underground Whoa-oh Yeah and he was so short fused All his days and nights were filled with wine And substances abused Whoa-oh It had been going on so long And as he stumbled towards the left hand ray She sang Robin's Song Late one night By the riverside She told all her problems to me Of how her life was like slow suicide I never knew how cruel a person could be He ruled her life with an iron fist And he kept her away from her friends She asked me when it would ever end Will it ever end? I listened very close that night And for the life of me I couldn't see Why she didn't try to fight I knew that she could not prolong her misery For it was clear to me from the way she talked that he would soon be history The very next day I saw them walking hand in hand And as she pa**ed me by I caught her eye and saw he was still her man Whoa-oh I guess some people just can't change Through lack of will they just stand still But their lives may be so strange Whoa-oh And they don't know right from wrong But when they're in a calm and no way out They sing Robin's Song And every night that I pa** that river site I get angry just knowing that she Is lost and alone with her life like slow suicide
