Your Difficult Decision
When you look into his eyes you know he's frightened
Still he's trying hard to say what's right
'Cos he knows deep down a man should be supportive
So he says "I'll be there for you, whatever you decide"
But he's hoping all you want him to be there for
Is a lift home from the clinic when you're through
You didn't think that you'd be carrying a baby
And you know you don't have the strength to carry two
Every woman's got to make it on her own
Every woman's got to take it on her own
They can sympathise, empathise
Blur the truth and rationalise it but
Every woman's got to make it on her own.
It's up to you - it's your decision
It's up to you - it's a difficult decision
They say time will heal
Who knows how you'll feel
One year on from your difficult decision?
When you see your friends and tell 'em all the bad news.
They give you pity and concern but no advice
Everyone holds up their hands as though they're frightened
Of being held accountable when you decide.
Every woman's got to make it on her own
Every woman's got to take it on her own
So they sympathise, empathise
Blur the truth and rationalise it, you know
Every woman's got to make it on her own.
It's up to you - it's your decision
It's up to you - it's a difficult decision
They'll applaud you today
But when you crumble they'll just turn and say
"You gotta live with your decision."
Sometimes there's nothing riding
On what you decide
And sometimes it's life and death.
Right now there's a choice to be made
About two people's fate
But only one gets to choose...
It's up to you - it's your decision
It's up to you - it's your decision
It's up to you - such a difficult decision
Baby don't get a say
But you can ask her some day
If she thinks you made the right decision.

ReplyDeleteHi Matt.
ReplyDeleteA difficult subject to think about and talk about - huge emotions all around - and I guess even harder to sing about..
I may have missed the post, but could you give us some more about why you wrote the song, and what you hope the song will communicate.
Thanks
