Just Circumstance - Whitney Rose

She didn’t know what she was gonna do

She was doing it alone, that she knew

Four weeks till she had to surrender

Nineteen, first offender

She’d have done anything for that boy

Save his life, leave hers destroyed

It didn’t matter who was really to blame

She was never gonna give his name

'Cause all her life, it’s been the same

No pomp, just circumstance

They all say, «Bless her heart»

She never had a chance

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

'Cause all her life, it’s been the same

No pomp, just circumstance

They all say, «Bless her heart»

She never had a chance

There was 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

'Cause all her life, it’s been the same

No pomp, just circumstance

They all say, «Bless her heart»

She never had a chance
