I’m screaming, “Rex, please,

stay by my side for the night

and no one has to know.”

But he didn’t listen,

I kept on begging for him

to stay, stay, stay.

It was hopeless to cry

but I had to cry to myself.

Took the last bottle of champagne

and the pills to help ease the pain

but it was no use.

I couldn’t help but think to myself.

What have I done wrong

that he would leave me for her?

She may be his wife

but I’ve got my life.

Dear God, I know I’m hopeless

when it comes to love

but I promise I’ll be better

when I leave this place.

It’s torture to my heart

to see him with someone else

much wiser than I could be.

And yet, I’m the icey blonde

in an equation of love.

Blank spaces beside my name

as I spend this night alone.

I wish that it was easy

to be in love with someone like him

but it’s not. It’s a tragedy.

A life for a wife

and a happy marriage.

If I’m called the home wrecker

in this Greek tragedy. I’m out.

I don’t want to be know

for ruining a marriage like theirs.

I just want to be loved

by someone who cares about me.

I’m not sorry for saying

that this is goodbye.

I have to go away, far from here

if it’s going to be this way.
