It’s been so long
Since my heart was yours
But yet I stay and play the game
I ***** myself out to you
To give my kids the life they deserve
A place to live, food, and clothes
And a dad they love truly so
You are the twinkle in our daughter’s eyes
Our son and you are so alike
You’re a decent father to the kids
But never the husband who loves his wife
Perhaps that’s the way it needed to be
But now I see you’re not for me
You’re really not a terrible man
There once was love when we first wed
But time has changed one of us
I have grown and you’re still a kid
You’ve cheated on me with your alcohol
Your crutch in life but now you’ll fall
While you were drunk I carried on
I’ve learned to stand on my own
I keep the house and care for the kids
While you’re out there acting single again
I can’t continue to live this way
I want a chance to be at peace
The chance to find some love for me
To have someone share my days
And fill my life with happier ways
So now this ***** has seen at last
This life of doing tricks must stop.
