At work again wearing my plastic smile, if you ask me I'll say, 'everything's fine' Secretly I'm screaming on the inside counting down the hours 'til quitting time Buy my favorite pint on my way home Hide it in my purse until I'm alone Waiting for the kids to go to sleep, Pour it on the rocks for a little peace I cry in the shower I don't want the kids to hear Turn over at night but no one's there The tears on my pillow mark all my prayers so I'll take my Southern Comfort and try again tomorrow My daughter looks at me with those big brown eyes and asks, "Mommy why are you so sad?" How do I tell her my heart is ice ever since her daddy left? "Goodness gracious child, We're gonna be just fine, now hurry up or we'll be late for school one more time" I cry in the shower I don't want the kids to hear Turn over at night but no one's there The tears on my pillow mark all my prayers so I'll take my Southern Comfort and try again tomorrow It's 3 am and I'm still awake How I wish I knew how to change I cry in the shower I don't want the kids to hear Turn over at night but no one's there The tears on my pillow mark all my prayers so I'll take my Southern Comfort and try again tomorrow
