From the outside it looks all good
Nice house in a nice neighborhood
Nice car, cute kids and pretty face
But there's a sadness that can't be placed
You know she's hiding something
Behind the laughing
She just won't say
What she's going through everyday.
I cried myself to sleep
While he closed his eyes peacefully
He yelled all the time
Set up these terrible thoughts in my mind
I just wanted to get away
Stop feeling like i was going to break.
Then I was fixed
There aren't words for this
I knew I would be okay
Even though the fights wouldn't go away.
I got through the bad nights
Knowing I'd see him in the daylight
His words didn't hurt
I learned I didn't have to hurt anymore.
I got papers ready
Made plans to be
Happy and free
Those plans crashed
When I heard he was dead.
From the outside it looked okay
Husband helping his wife
Getting through a rough time
But she was in such a bad place
His love couldn't bring her back
She needed therapy
To bring her to where she needed to be.
She drank so much
She lost track of who she was
Hurting herself and a friend
Who she never imagined
Doing that to
She knew she had to try to
Come back and fix what she could.
I remembered the words and promises
They do live on
Every day when I wake up
They ring in my head
I made them the day
I heard he was dead.
Her husband never hurt her so much again
He knew she was strong enough
To walk away in a moment
She knew she would
And not look back.
From the outside it looks easy
It isn't because it's me.
