    And as she walked away, she took it all with her
    His memories, his promises as well as his betrayal
    When they first started out, the world was brighter
    It was wonderful and this house where they nestle

    His memories, his promises as well as his betrayal
    He promised that he’ll be true and never stray
    It was wonderful and this house where they nestle
    They used to be happy they didn’t mind being castaway

    He promised that he’ll be true and never stray
    That promise was broken and the trust was ruined
    They used to be happy they didn’t mind being castaway
    But now that he is gone her life was blackened

    That promise was broken and the trust was ruined
    When they first started out, the world was brighter
    But now that he is gone her life was blackened
    And as she walked away, she took it all with her*

      There’s a sad story there. The form, with the repetition doesn’t detract.

      My aunt (RIP) married young. Soon after, he started beating her. 25 years and five kids later, she finally got away from him. This man destroyed many lives and left scars on others. He flaunted his girlfriends in front of my aunt. He molested his daughters and nieces. He died young.
      Even after one is gone from the circumstance, I don’t think they can ever be truly free.
