For all we could have done
And all that could have been...

You think I wouldn't have him unless
I could have him by the balls
You think I just dish it out
You don't think I take it at all
You think I'm stronger
You think I walk taller than the rest
You think I'm usually wearing the pants
Just cos I rarely wear a dress
Well
Yeah when you look at me you see my purpose
You see my pride
You think I just saddle up my anger
and ride, ride, ride
you think I stand so firm
You think I sit so high on my trusty steed
Well let me tell you I'm usually face down
On the ground
Whenever there's a stampede
I'm no heroine
Least not the last time I checked
I'm too easy to roll over
I'm too easy to wreck
I just write about what I should have done
I just sing about what I wish
I could say
And hope that somewhere some woman hears my music
And it helps her
Through her pain

of your soul, my favourite sinner.
