Something Better
I dreamt in bright colors for most of my life
My dreams have changed after becoming your wife
No longer a sweet dream can I share with you
Only a nightmare I am sure will come true
I see you standing just over my shoulder
In my dream my body gets colder
No where to run and no where to hide
Here in this dream I’m sure that I died
Can’t tell your mother she calls me a fool
Not a single friend since graduating from school
So where can I turn or who should I tell?
That each day of my life is an unbearable hell
I long for some peace a simple way out
Will that day ever come this I really doubt
Escape sounds so easy leave and never look back
Having the courage to do it is what I lack
One day I will gather the strength that I need
But for now I know I have children to feed
So I’ll smile and wait for the day I can break free
Knowing there is something better out there for me
