Lifetime (What Women Do)

Lifetime (What Women Do)

Once when I was eight

I thought could be

Anything that I

Wanted to be.

Then my mother left

Left me all alone

To figure out that

I could always be wrong.

First I count to ten.

Then I think

Of all the time I’ve left.

It’s a lifetime. It’s a lifetime. It’s a lifetime. It’s my lifetime.

The first girl I met,

She said she loved me.

And I found it so easy

To say it back.

The second girl I met,

She said the same thing.

So did the third and fourth.

It just keeps going.

First I count to ten.

Then I think

Of all the time I’ve left.

It’s a lifetime. It’s a lifetime. It’s a lifetime. It’s my lifetime.

Just a week ago

My Grandma passed away.

She helped raise me.

Made me who I am today.

And the strange thing

Is I did not cry.

I just understood

That it was her time.

First I count to ten.

Then I think

Of all the time I’ve left.

It’s a lifetime. It’s a lifetime. It’s a lifetime. It’s my lifetime.
