Don Tomlinson wrote or co-wrote every song on this site and without generative AI involvement. Every sound recording on this site is the product of its professional original sound recording having been uploaded to an AI music site solely for purposes of changing the vocalist, updating the production, and sometimes adding another genre (with the melody changed only derivatively to accommodate the additional genre). Virtually all companies in the music licensing industry require any song they license to have been 100% human written. All underlying musical compositions on this site were 100% human written.

Lyrics

VERSE
Her life had become just standing in the rain
Her heart could feel no more pain
She needed to clear the emotional strain
Find a little sunshine and a lot less rain

PRE-CHORUS
She had thought he was the one
But so did the other woman

First CHORUS
She was seared by the flames of heartache
But freed from the lie she was living
For her, it was the classic mistake
Life was cold and unforgiving
Could she survive the choices she's made?

VERSE
Now she's decided the answer is: “Hell, yeah.”
No more being the lady in distress
There’s plenty of ways out of this mess
She knew she could find her blueprint for success

Second CHORUS
She was seared by the flames of heartache
But freed from the lie she was living
Even now it’s much less hard to take
For her new life, she has much thanksgiving
'Cause now she knows the choices to make

SOLO/BRIDGE
Lesson learned; distant memory
She hopes he’s happy with her

Repeat Second CHORUS/TAG
Bottom line: It’s good to know the choices to make
