I thought he’d surely break her heart
When push came down to shove:
And I’d have reasoned with her, but
She was a girl in love

So for the beautiful mistake
She lived with all her fire;
Though very much of her got burned
By him, a shameless liar

He was no good for her, but she
Won’t think what might have been:
For she’s a woman now who’s learned
How to
Get up
Again
