Better Off Today

Better Off Today Lyrics

It was on the tip of her tongue
But she did not say a word
Why did dhe sometimes get sh*t that she did not deserve?
She were 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 day she had enough
Packed her things and went out the door
I've seen the pictures of 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 off today

All the time, all those years
So little joy and too many teats
All the sacrifice that she had made for him
All the things she'd given up 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

She left a note for her husband by the phone
It said: "I hate you so and I'm leaving on my own. I got a living for a home."
