[Verse 1] It was Christmas Eve when he gave me a call He found someone new, so he ended it all He dumped me in a ditch, to be with his new doll I was left frozen, couldn't utter a word I thought I was something, it's too good to be true I was used, he played me, I was a fool [Chorus] Back when I was forty seven I thought I could not love again When he left me in December I was in pain, I still remember The nights I'd cry myself to sleep The times I'd hope I'd never wake up again Again Back when I was forty seven He brought me hell when he promised heaven I wished I wasn't blinded by The tattoos and his scheming smile They say three months is momentary But the impact lasts a lifetime A lifetime [Verse 2] Am I meant to be an unloveable whore? Who goes through guys Like a calamitous storm Then left to be thrown away like debris He made me feel like a rusted key For an abandoned door to a lifeless field Every night I ask God "Is this what's meant for me?" [Chorus] Then I turned forty eight Seven months passed, I'm still in pain I don't know why I felt this way How did he leave such a pungent taste I knew that I had to escape It's killing me, making my brain decay slowly Slowly When I turned forty eight I went to Cody to find my aim The birds in the trees and the fishes in the lake The scene and spirits, it called my name An anodyne, that's when I made my move From Cali to Wyoming Wyoming [Verse 3] I was trapped in an underwater cave For what felt like an eternity of age I was ready to drown Surrender to the sea But I saw a light That set me free Each inhale, and each exhale I swam with every force my frame could take Then I emerged, a beautiful scene A sunrise that gave me liberty [Chorus] Now that I am forty nine I'm glad I chose to live my life At the ranch near the mountains I go on hikes With the love that I call mine all mine The years before have long gone by It's withered away, like the flowers he never gave Never gave Now that I am forty nine I'm shining bright 'cause I found my light A knight in white that saved my life From the beasts and monsters in my mind I'm now everything, to someone I Call the one, I think I will be okay Be okay
