lyrics

There are stories of men who love you in public
I swear, I've seen it with my own two eyes
I'm really good at keeping quiet
My daddy lived a double life

Three daughters and a wife left home alone
There were other girls who earned his time
He never saw what I've become
But I hear love is blind


They say you love on purpose
They say you choose who you love
Do you think we could do any better
If only there were less options

Some women live to find a man
Trading a ceremony for their lives
All they want is a happy husband
Mommy made a real good wife

The women in my family are ghosts
Life wasn't worth the fear
Every one of us learned to float
Mommy watched me disappear

They say you love on purpose
They say you choose who you love
Do you think we could do any better
If only there were less options

They named me Red Dress Woman
Men come to me late at night
Oh, He's not my husband
I swore I'd never wear the color white

I took on the nasty habit
Of swallowing unpleasant things
Like eggshells and coffee grounds
And the imprints left by wedding rings

They say you love on purpose
They say you choose who you love
Do you think we could do any better
If only there were less options
