Better Off Today

It was on the tip of her tounge

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 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 she'd had enough packed her things,

went out that door

I've seen the pictures of here

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 of today

Al that time,

al those years

so little joy and too many tears

all the sacrifices she had made for him

all the thigs she'd given to

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
