The Night
She stood at the window
Waiting for the car to pull into the drive
She prayed her suspicions weren't true
She wished he wasn't alive
He puts her through this night after night
He doesn't see these tears she cries
He doesn't see the pain she feels
He can't see how he hurts her with these lies
She tries with all her strength to make it work
She wants him to be by her side
She can't keep playing this role
But she can't bear to say goodbye
She heard the car and saw the lights
She was standing at the door
She saw it all in his eyes
She said, " I'm sorry. I just can't do this anymore."
