Fences

Inside Looking Out

Standing by her best friend's car
She looks in his angry eyes
And wonders why he's here

She hears him yelling at her
"We'll help you and your baby"
"You don't have to do this"
"You're going to regret this"
She knows she is hearing lies. 

She finds herself judging him
Wondering why she's here. 
It's none of his business anyways. 

She turns to walk inside. 
Just another Saturday at the clinic. 


Outside Looking In

Standing on the sidewalk
He looks past her sad eyes
And knows why she's here. 

He starts telling at get
"We'll help you and your baby"
"You don't have to do this"
"You're going to regret this"
He knows he is telling lies. 

He looks at her and judges her.
Wonders why her boyfriend isn't here, knows it isn't his business anyways. 

He turns to harass another woman. 
Just another Saturday at the clinic.
