Dawn is breaking by my watch.
A bruise on my neck.
You are leaving me
because a new day is dawning.
You're going to another woman's with a smile.
Who am I waking up next to?
Must I really go insane young/before my time?
You promise me children, marriage
and a warm home
and then you go and do your own thing.
You alone are to blame for this, girl,
You are alone up against everybody else.
Ref.
Because of you my father and brother are threatening me.
Alcohol and tablets and the tenth floor (are threatening me).*
Don't come into my line of sight with her
I'll cut my veins in front of the whole world with a razor.
If you shatter my dreams
goodbye, I'll set fire to the apartment.
I'm just a woman in love
a victim of your shame, so may it be that I grow old alone.
The happiness of other women
is a nightmare for me
but when you wish to forget about her
a smile is there again.
