Now
People will say
She’s just a fool
And won’t survive
She
Gave it away
Gone with the early morning call
She knew they lied

Down
She just broke down
Tying her hair
Fixing her blouse
Down
She just broke down
Whispered a prayer
Then screamed out loud

Look
It’s one o’clock
He didn’t call
Didn’t get back
She
Tried to unlock
All of her dreams that she denied
Had turned to black

Down
She just broke down
Touching his face
Straightening his tie
Down
She just broke down
Put things in place
Just to get by

Somehow
She would believe
Thinking
That she could deal
You know
It’s not like that
Sometimes
Things get unreal

Down
She just broke down
Tying her hair
Fixing her blouse
Down
She just broke down
Whispered a prayer
Then screamed out loud

Down
She just broke down
Touching his face
Straightening his tie
Down
She just broke down
