Lyrics
F D
She sits in silence she sits all alone no one to talk to but the telephone
F D
He heart is empty it's an open door and every promise broken on the floor
A7 D A7 D
Her life will never be the same she said why is she taking all the blame
2.
He's out there somewhere breaking someone's heart
She thought he loved her from the very start
She wanted children and she played her part He wanted freedom time and fancy cars
And all she asked for was his name she said why is she taking all the blame.
3.
Now there's a mirror hanging on the wall she hides a tear before it starts to fall
A touch of makeup makes her feel quite strong but deep inside her confidence has gone
She's tired of all these silly games she said why is she taking all the blame
She's tired of all these silly games she said why is she taking all the blame.
Repeat verse 1.
