Sat in the corner of some foreign bar
She’s one drink short of one drink too far
Her laughter a lie; her smile a disguise
She’s trying to hide how she feels inside.
It’s time to move on; she knows that he’s gone
And she didn’t cry when she said goodbye
She untied the knot and cast him away
Now wishes it ended a different way.
And though she can feign the absence of pain
She knows in her heart she’s falling apart
And though she may try, she cannot deny
The sadness that lies behind her brown eyes.
