Backstory:

It evolved from the first line "there's a trail of blood on the kitchen floor" and the story developed around that.

SCENE OF A CRIME

 
V1
There's a trail of blood on the kitchen floor, a busted front porch light 
Wish I could piece together what happened here last night? 
He always told me if I tried to leave, it'd be the end of me 
But here it is the morning after and I got a floor to clean 
 
Chorus
I don't know where he is, I don't know what I done 
But there's a bullet missing from the drawer, and I can't find my gun 
Everybody's got a breaking point maybe I reached mine 
I don't know if I killed him, but this sure looks like the scene of a crime 
 
V2
He called me from the bar last night, talking trash and making threats 
Said, "When I'm through with you, you're gonna wish that you was dead" 
Next thing you know he stormed in and saw my bags were packed 
I felt his fist against my face and then it all went black 
 
Chorus
I don't know where he is, I don't know what I done 
But there's a bullet missing from the drawer, and I can't find my gun 
Everybody's got a breaking point maybe I reached mine 
I don't know if I killed him, but this sure looks like the scene of a crime 
 
Bridge
Father, forgive me for my sins  
But if it's murder I committed, lord knows I'd do it all again 

V3
I came to, all black and blue, feeling like I been through hell  
But that blood on the floor ain't mine, best as I can tell  
If any man deserved to die, God knows it was him  
But what if the bastard's still alive, coming back for me again  
 
Chorus
I don't know where he is, I don't know what I done 
But there's a bullet missing from the drawer, and he might have my gun 
Everybody's got a breaking point maybe I reached mine 
I don't know if I killed him, but this sure looks like the scene of a crime 
Yeah, it looks like the scene of a crime…
