She's licking her wounds
And counts her tears
Her deepest fear
Has her bound
She is faking a smile
Pretend she's fine
It's been awhile
She had some wine
Years have passed
She remained
Her sorrow masked
She hides the pain
She bears her scars
Countless as stars
But no one knows
She doesn't show
She wants to leave
But she's afraid
To leave the kids
How will she live
In her head it's better
To suffer this way
All that matters
Is if she stays
She loves them so
She'll never go
She'd rather die
Before she says goodbye
