She never planned on

The life she got

Married young

And then she just got caught

Years fly by

When youre raising kids

Shes just a carbon copy

Of what her momma did



She was a perfect picture

Of a perfect wife

Out of focus

In her perfect life

So safe, so warm

No hint of danger

Wasting years

With the perfect stranger



Chorus:

But tough lucks

The only luck shes known

And tough luck

To build your life on hope

(Oh) But she bought the deal

She made the vow

Shed walk away

But shes just too proud

To ever throw in the towel

Tough luck



Convinced herself

That life made perfect sense

Two-car garage

And a white picket fence

Sometimes she feels

Like such a hypocrite

Shes just a face in the portrait

And thats about it
