Only for tears my head will bow
If only you could see what my eyes bestow
We always felt we disagreed
Where did we go wrong that you left me ?

You called me months ago
You told me months ago
You wanted me to know
You're no longer on your own

I drink your absence every day
It feels like a snake slithering away
My life will never be a song
My mind remembers too much and too strong

You called me months ago
You told me months ago
You wanted me to know
You're no longer on your own

I see you sit with your friends together
I see your spouse kiss your mouth and you are so happy
So happy, so happy, so happy, so happy, so happy

Out of the shell a pearl's gone
Out of the cage a bird has flown

Out of the shell a pearl is gone
