Only a Flower

Heather is so pretty They tell her over and over But no one ever says how intelligent she is How wonderful she is on the inside What a hardworking young woman she could be Heather is so pretty She doesn’t have to be smart She can find what she deserves with her looks A man who also thinks she’s as pretty as they say She can be a trophy wife and live through him Heather is so pretty So trapped in one place She didn’t go to college The man she loved is shallow But she can’t get away Heather is gone Her looks have faded There’s nothing left but an ugly shell Her husband says no one else could ever love her now She believes him If only someone would have told her how smart Heather was Before it was too late
