They say time fixes everything,
you just have to keep holding onto a string.
One day you´ll feel ok again,
there won´t be any more pain.

Keep telling me to see things from your position,
yet you refuse to understand my condition.

I am drowning and you are to blame,
you won´t even say my real name.
I had to lie for most of my life,
had to pretend I want to be the wife.

Terrified to come clean,
I started being mean.
Not to others but to me,
wished I would never be.

All you saw was that smile,
a slight change of style.
Body hidden under clothes,
make sure it never shows.
