Henry Songtext
von 22 Brides

Henry lived on the other side of our house
When I was just a kid
He′d call me over and I'd run away
I never could stand that fucker anyway
He looked in my mother′s eyes
I couldn't think or wonder why
I can't, can′t push him away
And I am in flames
One day I came home from school
It was early spring but cold as fall
Heard banging around and I went upstairs
He was pinning her hard up against the wall
He looked in my mother′s eyes
I couldn't think or wonder why
I can′t, can't, can′t push him away
And I was in flames, I was in flames
So I went to the closet


I got the shotgun just to blow it off in the sky
Just to scare him but my world went black
He went down and he never came back
And I am in flames, I am in flames
I am in flames, I am, I am in flames
She comes to see me here
With her red, red coat and black, black hair
She reads me verses and her shoulders fall
I never noticed that she looks so small
I look in my mother's eyes
I can′t think or wonder why
And, I can't push it away
And I am in flames, I am in flames
I am in flames, I am in flames
I can't push it push it away
I can′t push him push him away
I can′t push him, push him away
