A Life of Her Own

She sits alone in the kitchen

With her memories and photographs

Of all the better times she's had



When she was young the days seemed short

So much to do, so little time

But now the days just seem to pass her by



[Pre-Chorus]

So she cries, she takes a pill

And then another, calls her mother

"Mother, can you babysit tonight?"



The children scream, her husband doesn't care

So many times, she's wished he wasn't there



In the morning does the washing up

The fish and chips the children left

She scrapes away into the bin



Four o'clock they're home from school

They scream and shout, her life they rule

She dreams of holidays and better things



[Pre-Chorus]



[Chorus]

She wishes she was alone

She could have a life of her own



So she sits alone in the park

She wishes she could run away

But deep inside she knows she never will



She dreams of living in the country

With a garden full of daffodils

For now, a box on the windowsill



[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]



She could have a life of her own

A life of her own
