The older woman.

I've let him have his freedom,
He'll never take me back.
I've told the biggest lie ever,
Cause I knew he'd leave with that.

He asked me lots of questions,
tears were in his eyes.
And my heart broke into pieces,
as I watched his love for me die.

People will ask " why I done it?"
They'll never understand.
"If you love him, what you doing?"
"you're crazy, you must be mad!"

He wanted to give up everything,
to make me happy and not feel blue.
Which I knew in years he'd regret,
Bring resentment, sorrow too.

Better to let him walk away,
then end up hating if he stayed.
It won't be long, I know that too,
That he'll love another and to her be true.
