Nobody (She'Ll Just Suffer In Silence)

Who do you think is going to be willing to make everything all right once she finally has her mental breakdown? Nobody... she'll just suffer in silence Who do you think is going to be willing to rock her back to sleep in the middle of the night whenever the frightful demons come around? Nobody... she'll just suffer in silence Sadly, she can't seem to count on her husband on being there for her these days because it's late nights when he enjoys his play And she can't depend on their two kids because they're both grown and have their own lives to live she'll just suffer in silence Who do you think is going to be willing to do the dirty dishes as they continue to pile on up in the sink? Nobody...she'll just have to do it all on her own And who do you think is going to be willing to do the dirty laundry and prepare a meal to eat? Nobody... she'll just have to do it all on her own Sadly, she can't seem to count on her husband on doing anything much these days because he's allowed so many distractions to get in the way And she can't depend on their two kids because they're always willing to receive but are never willing to give she'll just suffer in silence Who is going to be willing to take care of her once she gets herself down and needs some tender, loving, care of her own Nobody... she'll just suffer in silence.
