Sarah Bernstein - A Woman Like Me Lyrics

I'm on a train
Of thought I can't get off my mind
The look on your face
I know you don't deserve to be
Treated that way
In spite of my mistakes

I think the price I paid
Outweighed the crime at hand
You put it all at stake
Like some kind of gambling man

How could you throw away
The life that we created
Just so you could say that
You didn't tolerate

A woman like me
I thought that you could handle
A little crazy
I know I'm not an angel
I've got my Mama in me
I know that it's not easy
But I thought that you agreed to love
A woman like me

I can change
At least that's what I tell myself when I lie awake
At night seeking shelter
From the mess I made
You say that you forgave me
But I'm still afraid
What happens if your mind makes itself up again? And finally you decide
That I'm not worth another minute
Of the life that you've been gifted
Go ahead and give in
Find someone who isn't

A woman like me
I thought that you could handle
A little crazy
I know I'm not an angel
I've got my Mama in me
I know that it's not easy
But I thought that you agreed to love
A woman like me

A woman with no patience
Who's energy can be contagious
A woman who's frustration
Might end up in blameless places

Though I can't guarantee
That that woman won't be me
Sometimes...
Would you roll the dice

On a woman like me
Who loves you oh so fiercely
She'd do anything
Just to keep you happy
If you really think
You're better off without me
Then I would be the first to leave...
A woman like me
