Better Off Today

It was on the tip of her tongue

But she did not say a word

Why did she sometimes get shit that she did not deserve?

She were a smile on her face as a disguise

To hide the tears in her eyes

And she just let the time go by

She turned away so that no-one would 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 and 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 know that she's better off today

All the time, all those years

So little joy and too many teats

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 that happy girl that she once was

She left a note for her husband by the phone

It said: "I hate you so and I'm leaving on my own. I got a living for a home."
