It was on the tip of her tongue

but she did not say a word

Why did she sometimes take shit

that she did not deserve?

She wore a smile on her face

as a disguise

to hide the tears

in her eyes

And she just let the time go by



She´d turn away

so that no one could see her sad

Where had the love gone

that they once had?

She only cried

when she was alone

when her husband and the children 

were not home

And she just let the years go by



But one day she had enough

packed her things

went out the door

I've seen the pictures

of when she was young

of the happy girl she was before

She met the man of her dreams

fell in love and suddenly

she found herself in a situation 

she thought she'd never be



But I (I)

I know that shes better off today



All that time

all those years

So little joy

and too many tears

All the sacrifice 

that she had made for him

all the things she'd given up

just to please that man

but now that she is on her own

she can smile again

just like the happy girl

that she once was



(she left a note 

for her husband at the phone

it said:

i hate your soul and I'm leaving on my own
