History Tonight

It's the end of our old sunset
Daddy's drunk and he don't want to go yet
I can tell you're hurting
Down inside so deeply
Your eyes and the scars you hide
Shows your hope of a better life
The way you move
Through the day and night
You tread so lightly

But I'll be there for you
I won't let you go
You can count on me
I'll get you through this fight
Your old life will be history tonight

I know you're a beauty queen
But when your eyes they look at me
The belief is gone and all I see
Are your abused feelings
There's a reason for everything
Your father's life and the way it seems
Perfect love doesn't come from
All the things you see in your magazines
Love won't leave a scar

I won't let you go
You can count on me
I'll get you through this fight
Your old life will be history tonight

True love won't let you down, baby
True love's going to get you through
True love won't let you down, baby
No, it won't let you down, no no
True love's going to get you through
Don't you know it will get you through
