Him For Her Lyrics by Drew Baldridge
She wore long sleeve dresses all summer long
And only showed up to church on the Sundays he was gone
The neighbors said they heard the fightin’ when he’d been drinkin’
And one morning, when he was hungover, sleepin’
She loaded up that Honda, tears fallin’ from a black eye
She looked back at the pain, and left it all behind
For that woman in the mirror
The one who used to love and laugh before he stole her smile
And she prays that God can’t hear her
As she curses the man that put her through the hurt
‘Cause she knows what the woman she wants to be deserves
So she left him for her
She left him for her
She pulled over three towns over and sat on the hood
A truck rolled up and asked, “You need some help?”
She said, “No, I’m finally good”
She took that ring off her finger
And threw it far as it would fly
She don’t know how she’ll start over
But she knows she’s gotta try
For that woman in the mirror
The one who used to love and laugh before he stole her smile
And she prays that God can’t hear her
As she curses the man that put her through the hurt
‘Cause she knows what the woman she wants to be deserves
So she left him for her, oh
She left him for her
Oh, she drove and drove with the pedal down
Till two tanks of gas were burned up
Now she’s drinkin’ cheap red wine in a cheap motel in a town he’s never heard of
She catches herself in the bathroom glass
Says, “Hey you, welcome back”
To that woman in the mirror
The one who used to love and laugh before he stole her smile
And she prays that God can’t hear her
As she curses the man that put her through the hurt
‘Cause she knows what the woman she wants to be deserves
So she left him for her
Yeah, she left him for her
Oh, she left him for her
