That Woman
She would've been the death of me.
Now I see skies of glorious blue,
Filled with sunlight so true.
No longer bound to a rotten tree:
She would've been the death of me.
Her bitterness hasn't changed at all—
Now she wants me back so I can fall.
But I refuse because I am free—
She would've been the death of me.
A lady more beautiful and kind
I pray to the Lord I will find.
In the meantime, my blindness can see:
She would've been the death of me.
