Whitney Rose Just Circumstance Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She didn't know what she was gonna do
She was doing it alone, that she knew
Four weeks 'til she had to surrender
Nineteen, first offender
She'd have done anything for that boy
Save his life, leave hers destroyed
It didn't really matter who was really to blame
She was never gonna give his name

[Chorus]
'Cause all her life, it's been the same
No pomp, just circumstance
They all say, "Bless her heart"
She never had a chance

[Verse 2]
She flipped a coin and hoped for heads
A few more nights in her own bed
She wasn't getting any sleep at night
She couldn't look her mama in the eye
She should have known what would happen next
She spent her last ten dollars and she took the test She's off to pay for all that blow
Turns out she's not alone

[Chorus]
'Cause all her life, it's been the same
No pomp, just circumstance
They all say, "Bless her heart"
She never had a chance

[Verse 3]
The bed's not much worse than what she had at home
She's sixteen weeks and starting to show
There ain't no one to lean on
Her mama's sick and that boy is gone
Three years move pretty slow
When you're sittin' there staring at a cell window
She didn't hold her when she had the chance
Just straight into the happy couple's hands

[Chorus]
'Cause all her life, it's been the same
No pomp, just circumstance
They all say, "Bless her heart"
She never had a chance
