The Line by Alice Minguez from Wisconsin United States

TW: DV

Lyrics:
Things start out great
An amazing first date
Bought me a beautiful bouquet
And kissed me gently on the cheek
Even had me home by ten
Such a perfect gentleman

Third date
Everything’s still perfect
Well, except for that little bit
When the waiter ed up and he had a little fit
But everything is fine; in fact, it’s great!
Such a perfect gentleman!

Still, I wonder:
Where do I draw the line?

About a month in
Is when it all really begins
Suddenly he’s really moody
It kinda bothers me
Well, but I’m probably just being choosy
And, after all,
It was just some broken china

Time keeps passing
But the moods sure haven’t
Walking on eggss has become my new norm
But I still haven’t had it
He’s got flaws
But so do we all

Still, I wonder:
When do I draw the line?

Six months
Now all the time he’s drunk
We don’t go out anymore
‘Cause he says my friends suck
And, besides, people would only ask questions
About the bruise for which he’s already apologized

Autumn comes; leaves are falling
Things have really escalated
Got me hiding, heart pounding
Wondering, “Should I my suitcase?”
But then I remember
Who he really is at heart
A perfect gentleman, remember?

Still, I wonder:
When do I draw the line?

It’s Valentine’s Day
And we’ve planned a special getaway
We get in the car
But before we’ve gone far
Get to arguing about some stupid thing
He stops the car; we get out
He shouts and I back down
But his temper’s taken over
And pretty soon, before I know it,
There are hands around my throat
And everything goes black

Beside my grave they wonder:
Why didn’t she draw the line?
How could she love a man like him
Who treated her like this?
But what they don’t understand
What they don’t remember
Is how he was such a perfect gentleman
