Rolled up bits of tissue soaked in every single tear. Crumple pieces of my soul, why should I live in fear.
The words you shout out loud, crush deep inside of me. You took away my confidence and who I used to be.
You destroyed the woman that I was as you spit your vile words. Telling me I’m worthless and there’s no place for me on earth.
Twisting every line you spin to suit your own ego.
I’m watching on and taking it with nowhere else to go.
Hell seems a much brighter place if I take my life.
Death is a much more peaceful out, than being a mother and a wife.
Our children are the only thing that has kept me here, protecting them and shielding them, so they don’t live in fear.
But you smile and are cheerful with everyone one you know, treating others with respect and always putting on a show.
Everyone sees a man that I rarely ever see, so why do you hate me so? Why is it always me?
I’ve always been the loving wife, the one who cleans and mends. The one who gets you through covers up and just pretends.
I’m loyal to all you do and all you have to say. But I can not do this life, Not for one more day.
Tell my children that I’m sorry, but I wasn’t good enough for you, Maybe you could explain to them all you put me through.
Tell them, you thought I wasn’t good enough for life. Not good enough to parent or to be your wife.
Look after them and nurture them as you tuck them into bed. Tell them how you told me, It was better I was dead.
Tell them how you're better at everything I do.
I simply couldn't match up to the ego that is you.
