Does anybody read these?

He said: "Goodbye" from the edge of the porch,
Like she'd been some casual friend.
He said: "You're better off without me, I'm not what you need,"
Like her Momma had said about him.
He started the car, pulled out of the drive,
Didn't waste any time lookin' back.
She watched him go, thinkin': "Even a stranger,
Would show more compassion than that."

She could've cried but she didn't have time:
She had a baby to feed, a pink blanket to find.
To rock their little one to sleep.
She could've laid in bed for hours,
Given misery the power,
But she didn't have time.

She got a sitter, an' she got a job,
'Cause she had a promise to keep.
Her day was a factory an' evenin' survival,
An' night was exhaustion and sleep.
Sometimes she felt life was passin' her by,
And watchin' was all she could do.
Her friends said: "You gotta get outta the house,
"An' maybe you'll meet someone new."

She could've tried but she didn't have time:
She had a five-year-old to feed,
She had ballet class, piano lessons a t-ball little league.
She could've laid awake for hours,
Given lonely nights the power,
But she didn't have the time.

Not time: where would she find the time to trust a man again?
Not time: for that flat tire, a crowded parking lot and then,
Not time but, yes, have coffee with the man who got her tired fixed.
She was thinkin': "Gosh, he's handsome,"
When he asked: "Do you have kids."

She could've lied but she didnt have time.
All she said was: "She's five."
He said: "I saw the car seat I love kids. Does she have your eyes?"
And they sat and talked for hours,
Givin' destiny it's power,
She could've been afraid to fall in love that night,
But she didn't have time.

She could've been afraid to fall in love that night,
But she didn't have time.
