If this is a good thing, why does my hair fall off? Why does my heart pound so hard? The man I was lays smothered on the ground The cost of being a woman, brings me to my knees If this isn't madness, the writing on the wall The sound of hard times coming The man I was, was always standing tall The cost of being a woman, brings me to my knees Oh, it's dark as hell Let the embers burn for help Tell them you're not well If I am a fighter, then why the white flags? Why can't I face my own lies? The man I was, was always dressed in black The cost of being a woman, brings me to my knees Oh, it's dark as hell Let the embers burn for help Tell them you're not well Oh, it's dark as hell Let the embers burn for help Tell them you're not well Oh, it's dark as hell Tell them you're not well
