about

I continue to gain perspective on chapters of my life that shape how I interact with the world. Let this song be an acknowledgment of self-determination and self-love. Thank you to Nicole Colbeck of little acorn creative coaching & music management for the song prompt.

lyrics

Who did he, who did he, who did he, who did he
Think it was, that smeared his name
Was it long blonde hair and the trusting air of the innocent
Was it hard to know better when they just let her out of the gate?
Was it being told that he was too old for anything?
It was all in the letter, it was all too late

Who did he, who did he, who did he, who did he
Think would win, that kind of game
Where spinning lies was his disguise for the passion play
That stole her youth with the grizzle of his age?
Did she believe the loving words he wrote for her?
It was all in the letters, it was all too late

Who did he, who did he, who did he, who did he
Think was next, that he could tame?
Selfishness, betrayal, promiscuity
Her memory was tangled and dismayed
Distance grew with all she knew who cared for her
It was all in the letter, it was all too late

I’ll grow up and marry the boy next door
We’ll have three kids, maybe we’ll have four
White dress and a picket fence for me
Perfect life for the perfect family

Who did he, who did he, who did he, who did he
Think he was, to act that way?
That prison fence was the consequence of his tyranny
Of a list of women deafened by his rage
Of using words to threaten and for punishment
It was all in the letter, it was all too late
