lyrics

Coming home from another long hard day
He's dreading just walking through the door
She starts up the controlling demeanour
He wonders what he does this for
He could be so much happier
If he got his act together

I know things look different when seen from the outside
I've been there before and it's not easy
To hide the misery you're living there on the inside
That's just how it looks from where I stand

Sitting by the window watching for his car
She's desperate to hear about his day
Needing him to validate her small existence
Terrified he wants to run away
She could be so much happier
If she got her act together

I know things look different when seen from the outside
I've been there before and it's not easy
To hide the misery you're living there on the inside
That's just how it looks from where I stand

You have to do it for yourself
Nobody else can live your life
Don't waste it being unhappy
Please don't waste it

I know things look different when seen from the outside
I've been there before and it's not easy
To hide the misery you're living there on the inside
That's just how it looks from where I stand
Things look different when seen from the outside
I've been there before and it's not easy
To hide the misery you're living there on the inside
That's just how it looks from where I stand

about

Bex and Freda England, UK

Bex writes quirky random songs about (amongst other things) life, love, cider and idiots, and plays them on some ukuleles (one named Freda) and sometimes a piano, accompanied by Jim on cajon and other percussion.
