lyrics

SHE PACKED HER BAGS IN SECRET
Written in 2008 & 2009

She packed her bags in secret
In an old worn out ruck sack
Every voice inside her head said “leave and don’t come back”
And it looked like he was sleeping, when
she walked passed their bed
She sat down on the corner and put her
lips against his head

She closed her eyes so tightly,
that the tears could not get out
But she started to remember and she
started having doubts
He said, baby I see you’re crying
I know you’ve packed your things
I noticed the first day you went outside without my ring

I know just how you’re feeling,
and I can only blame myself
Because the man you knew and fell in love with
grew into someone else
I’m trying to make things easy,
didn’t have the strength to write a note
So I took out all my money
and I left it in your coat
