i speak because i can

• sözleri;
  
  my husband left me last night
  left me a poor and lonely wife
  i cook the meals and he got the life
  now i'm just old for the rest of my time
  for he, oh he, oh my
  
  i speak because i can
  to anyone i trust enough to listen
  you speak because you can
  to anyone who'll hear what you say
  i swear it was not my choice
  i used to be so kind
  
  never rode my bike down to the sea
  never finished that letter i was writing
  never got up and said anything
  worthy, for he, for my
  
  graceful sleeper
  you midnight dreamer
  i'm floored by your sound
  i'm floored by your sound
  
  i swear it was not my choice
  to reach out for someone wise
  i used to be so kind
  i used to be so kind
  
  in the breaking of the morning we'll be dancing on my soft lawn
  when you're shaking out the anger that stops you from taking my call
  when you're running up the highway
  singing i'm the king, the king of you all
  when you look back to where it started
  i'll be there waving you on
  
  never rode my bike down to the sea
  never quite figured out what i believe
  never got up and said anything
  worthy, for he, for my
