There should have been troubles

There should have been tears

Shame and dishonor and

Cry for the rest of your years

There should have been secrets

There should have been lies

The things that you did

Now she lays down and dies

There should have been death

There should have been blood

You’re here now and

He’ll die in the mud

There should have been love

Acceptance and peace

But you pushed away, hurt

Your life’s just on lease
