Lyrics
He Left
©2007 Lisa Cartwright & David Harper
dedicated to all the neglected and abused hearts
I'm so far from perfect
Wasted half of my lifetime
Hoping people wouldn?t notice
My pain deep, the inside
I felt so small and pointless
I tried to change my world
I just couldn?t make him happy
I was such a prozac girl?
He left, he left, left me with nothin? but the best part of my life it seems
My kids, more time, to finally do things my way, a little time to chase my dreams
Had I known, had I seen, life could be so right after being so wrong
I might have left him long ago? but he left? so long
For years I hoped
He?d wake up, and see the good in me
But that?s not the way it went ?no
That was a fantasy
I prayed, I pleaded,
for strength on bended knees
And I woke up Sunday morning? and God had answered me
Chorus
Sometimes I fear I might not be up for all the jobs I know I must do
I?ve got my hats all laid out for tomorrow
A mother, daughter, a sister a provider too
