Lily's Lament from My Upcoming Musical "THE ROSE THAT WEPT"

This is a song from my new musical I'm working on! This is the Lament that Lily sings to herself out of sadness due to her husband cheating on her!

Let me know what you think!

LYRICS:
Pretty. You're so pretty.
That is what I was told all my life.
My face will take me far.
All the men will ask for your hand to wed.
You'll wear white and they'll turn red.
Guess it was all in their head.

Spoken:
Lily.
Yes, George?
I have to go away for a while. Will you be safe here?
George, go! You know I can make it by myself.
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure. Now go, do what you have to!
I love you, Lily
Sure, George.

Sung:
What a Damn Cruel game!
Why must he kill me so?
I would leave him at once if I could make myself go.
Love me. You say you love me but go have your fun and leave me at home.
Lie to me every time.
Say you have to go make some life for us and you will provide for us.
But you just lie and I'll never know what true love is!
Now let love die!
DIE!
