I can't carry the weight of this war
I can't do it anymore
Everyone's wounded, nobody's won
Hear me
I haven't lost my voice without you near me
I can tell the truth about you leaving
But that's not what a good woman does
Don't feel sorry for yourself
You've got everything you want
Everyone's watching you pick up and run
So hear me
I haven't lost my voice without you near me
I can tell the truth about you leaving
But that's not what a good woman does
A good woman does
That's not what a good woman
That's not what a good woman does
Can't carry the weight of this war
I won't do it anymore
Hear me
I haven't lost my voice without you near me
I can tell the truth about you leaving
But that's not what a good woman does
A good woman does
That's not what a good woman
That's not what a good woman does
