Why, you just won't leave my mind
Was this the only way
I couldn't let you stay
Run away, hide away
The secrets in your mind
Sacrificed just her life
For a higher love
No matter how many stones you put inside
She always keeps on floating in your mind
With every turn of your head you see her face again
Until the end, over and over again
Why, you just won't leave my mind
Was this the only way
I couldn't let you stay
Told the truth she laughed at you
Something snapped inside
She had to go or they would know
All you tried to hide
The sins of your life are now catching up with you.
You can't stay ahead, there's nothing you can do
With every turn of your head you see her face again
Until the end, over and over again
Why, you just won't leave my mind
Was this the only way
I couldn't let you stay
Such emotion tribute to the voiceless minority. The song is about the psychic scars that are inflicted when someone aborts a living fetus. I'm personally pro choice, but Sharon is a devout believer in Christianity. So, I'm concluding that is the repression that women do when they act contraily to their belief system. She constantly see her face, as a remainder of her guilt. Many women that conclude this always wonder what their child looks like, the first time they walk, and all the achievements and milestone attained in their life. Their shame and regret consumes until they break because of building pressure. Like a dam that can't bypass the growing floodwaters, they suffer from an instantaneous mental meltdown, and often need supervision because the internal turmoil is so great.
