I always saw this song as a dark look at a woman coming into his lif and leaving. No one saw all she had done, and there's also a commentary on her situation. Anyone else have thoughts?
You can tell white lies
And walk away from here
You can tell your side
And never see the clear
You can tell white lies
And walk away from here
You can tell your side
And never see the clear
He'll let her live if she keeps her mouth shut about the abuse, but if she tells anybody what's really going on he'll kill her.

And you can tell it all
I'll stop you if you stray
And save you saying something you should never say
And you can spell it out
I'll help you win the day
And I will stop you saying something
And you can tell it all
I'll stop you if you stray
And save you saying something you should never say
And you can spell it out
I'll help you win the day
And I will stop you saying something
She's better be careful how much she...
She's better be careful how much she says to other people, because if she says too much she'll be sorry.
You could have his hands
Wrapped around your throat
And you could see your face
Covered with your coat
She's said too much, and now he's angry. He tries to choke her, then tries to smother her with her coat.
I don't think they know
They didn't see you arrive
They didn't here you go
I don't think they know
They didn't see you arrive
They didn't here you go
This is a reference to neighbors who may have heard the struggle while he was choking her and smothering her. He hopes that they didn't see her arrive or hear her go.
If you find a brave face
And wear it for the day
I will find a suitcase
And we could melt away
If she will smile and keep her mouth shut, he will take her away on a vacation.
And you can tell it all
I'll stop you if you stray
And save you saying something you should never say
And you can spell it out
I'll help you win the day
And I will stop you saying something...
He's warned her, but she didn't keep her mouth shut. Now she must die.
I don't think they know
They didn't see you arrive
They didn't here you go
Nobody saw her arrive or heard her go. Nobody knows what happened.

It's a violent relationship that ends in murder.
