Dear Tom
You know I love you, boy
In every single way
Though I love you, boy
I'll miss you every day
Oh, I love you, boy
I wish that I could stay with you
And keep the life I made with you
And even though this feels so right
I'm holding back the tears tonight
It's true, I'll never be over you
'Cause I have built a future in my mind with you
And now the hope is gone
There's nothing left for me to do
You know it isn't true
But I must say to you
That I don't need your love, no, no
I don't need your love, no, no
It'll never be better than it was, no, no
But I don't need your love, no, no
I've got no choice
With the King, I stay alive
Never had a choice
Been a wife twice before, just to survive
I don't have a choice
If Henry says it's you, then it's you
No matter how I feel, it's what I have to do
But if somehow I had that choice
No holding back
I'd raise my voice
I'd say, "Henry, yeah it's true
I'll never belong to you
'Cause I am not your toy to enjoy
'Til there's something new
As if I'm gonna give up my boy
My work, my dreams to care for you
Ha! Darling, get a clue
There's nothing you can do
I don't need your love! No, no
No, I don't need your love, no, no
There's nothing left to discuss, no, no
'Cause I don't need your love, no, no"
♪
But the thing is, I can't say that
Not to the King
So this is goodbye
All my love, Catherine
So I sent that letter to my love, got married to the King
Became the one who survived
I've told you about my life, the final wife
But why should that story be the one I have to sing about?
Just to win? I'm out
That's not my story
There's so much more
Remember, that I was a writer
I wrote books and psalms and meditations
Fought for female education
So all my women could independently study scripture
I even got a woman to paint my picture!
Why can't I tell that story?
'Cause in his story I'm fixed
As one of six
And without him, I disappear
We all
Disappear
(Wait, I don't get it)
