This is yet another powerful song sung by Martina Mcbride. In the song a husband abuses his wife tearing her spirit. The song illustrates the cycle of violence as the husband abuses his wife, then kisses up trying to make her believe he loves her, and then abuses her again. She eventually breaks the cycle of violence by refusing to put up with the abuse any longer... She leaves him. She will probably be affected by the abuse for years to come, but still she is powerful. The broken wing is a metaphor for the lasting emotional affects of the abuse, while flying repressent her growing sterngth and independence.
