I took the smile of the moon

So I could glow just as bright

I don't yearn for the neon lights

Instead I yearn for a better life

A yearn to be a better wife

I wanna see the trees in the moonlight

I wanna see his smile dissapear in the night

I close my eyes and he's always there,

He's like a nightmare

I'm choking on his cigarette fumes

And he's loving the fact I can't forget him

But I hate him

And I hate who he made me into

But I'm stronger now,

And his words don't mean nothing

How,

Did you expect me to get caught up in a deadlock of emotions?

Did you expect me to blow my knees out begging for you?

My blood has well on dried

So have the tears you made me cry

And now I look up in the sky

Praying

My knees are shedding

Praying

Hoping for you to be a better man,

I don't hate you, I never will

But I know that me and you ain't in his will

And I'll smile, because at the end of the night it's not your arms I miss

And you know it

It's eating you inside

I don't want you back

That's a fact I don't have to hide

Praying

On my knees

Praying,

Up through my throat I bleed

Praying

You become a better man

And I'm praying

You find yourself in God's hands
