lyrics

Her name is May. She has it all
26, and beautiful
It's Sunday morning, half past 8
Her husband's still in bed, he got home late
He worked late

Puts on her robe; walking softly
She pours herself a cup of coffee
The kids should be up any time
This is the life she longed for - It's sublime
So sublime

Chorus:
But she is feeling so undone
And prays that she's the only one
Then turns those thoughts away

Girl's night in, she talks with friends
They ask the same old trite questions
Like, “how is work?” and “how's the man?”
Asks all about every life plan - she's proud
She’s so proud

Chorus:
But she is feeling so undone
And prays that she's the only one
Then turns those thoughts away

(Oohs)
This is the life I was told to strive for
Now I find myself wanting more (X4)

It's midnight, and May lies awake
Feeling like she's bound to break
Hears the keys shake, and the car beep
Lifts her head then pretends to sleep
He comes in and lies down beside her
He smells like scotch and elderflower
Should she ask? As his wife? Or would that mar her perfect life?

Chorus:
But she is feeling so undone
And prays that she's the only one
And she is feeling so undone
And prays that she's the only one
Then turns those thoughts away
