{v1}
Her eyes look -- so far away
Like she’s long since gone to another place
Breathes a real big sigh
Stuffs some papers in her bag
Tries to walk away with pride – V2
{v2}
She steps from court
Wraps her scarf – as she heads toward the door
Grabbin’ her keys, she leaves
She’s divorced, now, and she’s fin—al---ly free
{chorus}
But still lookin’ for some peace
She done her best_____
Done what love told her to [do]
Said vows that turned meaningless somehow
Now, she meets a clear truth
Evr’ythin’ seems so cold – so old
She feels so used
Tryin’ to start life new
{v3}
She slips slowly -- into her car
Turns the key – wantin’ to run forever far
Both hands on the wheel
But she can’t feel (nothin’)
Ev’rythin’s movin’, but she sits still
{chorus}
{bridge}
New doesn’t sound as nice
As it did when she sat alone at night
Wishin’ a way to make things right
Old clothes, old heart, old lies
That’s what filled her life
She’s so tired
Nothin’ new’s left inside
{chorus}
She feels so used
Tryin’ to start life new
