lyrics

It’s 6 am, the floor’s cold on her feet
As she tiptoes downstairs, hopin’ he’ll stay asleep
Brew a fresh pot of coffee, hop in the shower
Then go head off to work for the next 12 long hours
And when she gets home there’s a note by the phone
He’s out with the boys, another night all alone
She lights up a smoke out in the cold
And she thinks to herself, this routine’s gettin’ old
Leaves fall like confetti from the November sky
But she’s too stupid to cry

Well when they first married, he promised her things
Like a house in the country, a big family
In their cluttered apartment, in the middle of town
They have separate bedrooms, and word’s gettin’ round
The neighbors keep talkin’, they heard he was seen
With a friend of a friend at a Christmas party
She tells all her girlfriends the rumors aren’t true
And you know if your man isn’t in love with you
His ring’s on his nightstand, but she don’t ask why
No she’s too stupid to cry

She stayed at her mama’s the past several weeks
He ain’t called to check in or ask how are things
So she filed for the papers just before spring
And she shipped him his copy, with his keys and her ring
She packs up a bag and she hails down a cab
Yeah, things they get better after they’re bad
A dog, a new car, and a house with a yard
You know she’s a go-getter when the goin’ gets hard
She wipes at a tear in the corner of her eye
‘Cause there’s no more reasons to cry
No, no, no, no there’s no more reasons to cry
