She couldn’t laugh

She couldn’t laugh                                                             
When I saw you guys dancing in the sun,
a shadow fell on my heart
You were the worst mistake she ever made.

And she laughed too loud at your jokes,
yes I know you were funny
But I couldn’t laugh…
because I knew were it would lead.

Now the anger has drowned out all the jokes,
she doesn’t laugh anymore,
See the pain in her smile.

And she’s tried,
yes she’s tried to run away,
but you would not let her go
You are her ball and her chain.

Now I wish you were dancing in the sun,
but the steps were all wrong
So release her from her chains now.

With your jokes you imprisoned her heart,
you never gave her a chance
She never knew you couldn’t dance….
