Ladies in Waiting

from Child of Tuesday by Just Plain Sarah

/

lyrics

There are sluts in my kitchen
Eating our chips
Momma's red-eyed and saying that I've got to
Put up with them
And they're doing doughnuts in the front yard in his cars
And I don't want to be here

And all of our ladies in waiting
Are ready for us to cry, and
You know, it's not what I'd hoped for
But then again it rarely is

And all of the ex's are calling
Wondering if they broke me too soon
And I say, "Hey, it's okay.
Now I can honestly say that I've been through worse."
They sit around me in a semicircle
But don't worry my friends
You won't have to heal me today
'Cause I've pushed it all away

And all of our ladies in waiting
Are ready for us to cry, and
You know, it's not what I'd hoped for
But then again, none of this is

They say that God's with me
But She doesn't know me
So you can keep your blessings
My birthday cake is still on the table
My candles aren't cold yet
Yet, and you are
Yet you are

No more tears, my dear
No more tears, my dear
No more tears my dear, my dear
Be strong for your brother and your sister
Take care of your mother
You have to be the strong one now
Don't cry
'Cause they can't see you cry now

And all of our ladies in waiting
Say it's time for them to go
And I tell them, "Hey, it's okay."
I'd rather be alone to talk to your ghost
