She looks out the window,
Tears wellin' in her eyes.
She remembers the good times,
But now how many times he's made her cry.

If he could only imagine,
How much she hurts, deep down inside,
Then maybe he could remember,
Of how his love once burned bright.

But He Lies...
He says he's going out for a drink,
He needs to clear his head to think,
But then he meets Her, Again...

Been six long years since their wedding night,
But it's been at least two,
Since he last held her tight,
And she cries...

...Herself to sleep late at night
In the pale moonlight, she gently weeps,
"I want to die",
And so she tries...

...To wrap her brain around something else,
because she knows that he will be back,
It has all become so routine.
And then the telephone rings...

"We need you to come down,
Identify this body.
He was going ninety,
When he smashed into the tree."

She could only imagine,
as she hung up the phone.
She was now truly lonely,
Though so many nights she spent alone,

And she cried...

She wished for someone to hold so tight,
To squeeze her close and tell her everything is alright.
The man she loved, died so long ago...

And She Cried...
