Each Night I Lay My Head Down

Each night I lay my head down I worry about this man. So much drama and so much pain, Some from beer, some from cocaine. My daughter goes to sleep each night and I try to keep the peace. But somehow everynight I'm home I feel I need the police. I have this hope he'll change one day But I know he never will. The only time I feel safe with him is when he is lying still. His daughter looks into his eyes each day and he showers her with love. But when it comes to "him" or "her" I may as well give it up. So I'm not gonna go one more night being together but far away. I'd rather he where gone tonight than to hurt me if he stayed. So tonight when I lay my head down I'll hold my little girl. And even though he may be gone, She'll have a better world.
