Other Ways To Weep

Kids in school now
Memory hurts
Their father's gone
She wears his shirts
She's got emotions
Deep as oceans
Oceans deep...
Been to the doctor
Been to court
He won't provide support
Ask any mother
There are other ways
To weep

Her heart opens
Then it shuts
Divorce proceeding
Paper cuts
She reaches for a shadow
In her sleep...
No one there now
Toss and turn
Grin and bear now
Live and learn
Ask any mother
There are other ways
To weep

The landlord wants his money
Rent has just been raised
Grant me food for my children
Every night she prays...

She battles on
The children fight
She tells herself
It'll be all right
Gritted teeth
Leap of faith
She takes the leap...
Gonna make it
She'll survive
Come out the other side alive
Ask any mother
There are other ways
To weep
