[Verse]
DHe said goodbye from the edge of the porch
Like Ashe'd been some casual friend
He said "You're Gbetter off without me, I'm not what you need."
Like her A7sus4momma had said about A7him
He startDed the car, pulled out of the drive
Didn't Awaste any time lookin' back
She watched_G__ him go thinkin' even a stranger
Would Bmshow more compassion than Athat
[Chorus]
She could've Dcried but she didn't have tiAme
She had a baby to feeGd    a pink A/Gblanket to findG  
To rock their little one to sleep_D__
She could've laid in bed for hourAs_ giving misery the powerG

DShe got a sitter and she got a job
'Cause Ashe had a promise to keep
Her Gday was a factory and evenin' survival
And A7sus4night was exhaustion and sA7leep
Sometimes    Dshe felt life was passing her by
And Awatchin' was all she could do
Her friendGs    said you gotta get outta the house
And mBmaybe you'll meet someone Anew
