Here I stand
Watching you watching me
On your finger there’s a wedding band
Guess she’s not what you need

So here I stand
Looking at my face in the mirror
I see the band in your hand
Do you even love her?

Do you see the pain I see in your eye?
Do you see it in mine?
I give what you pay for
It’s all just a big lie

Go back to your wife honey
I ain’t worth your time
Walkin down the hall, I hold my head with pride
What a girl does for money….but, oh, it ain’t me

When I get home I find dinner on the table
Little baby loves her mommy
She’s passed out on the couch
Her mommy carries her back to bed

Tucked in bed, I kiss her cheek
Keeping the tears back, afraid to be weak
I run the water and hop right in
The tears begin to flow, only then

Do people know what goes on?
Can you see it?
I come and I go but, I never truly leave
This was never what I wanted

There I see you again
This time, no wedding band
You tell me its wrong
I say I know
Pulling me close, kissing me
There all my pain seemed to go
There I let all my tears flow

You held me tight
Told me that I’d be alright
And here you are kissing my baby goodnight
Looks like, in my life, I finally did something right
