Oh, he's home early

Quick, smiles on

Don't let him see

That you've known all along

The messages, the whispers, the looks

It's not betrayal, it's just...

Sorry, love, I have to hit the books

We do what we must

Okay, good, I'm alone now

Smiles gone

Tears flowing down

What did I do wrong?

No, stop!— everything is fine

Study, graduate

Busy up your time

Maybe, before it’s too late…

Be loyal and true

Maybe then, one day

He’ll remember you

Quietly tucked away

Never doubting

Never causing trouble

Never shouting

Always kind and humble

Maybe, then…

Maybe then…

Maybe then,

He’ll love you
