Why has this happened?
Why do you want to parts ways
You've spent all this time
Given so much
We held on with such hope
Why?

35 years
A long drawn out
Beautiful
What appeared to be
Picket fenced love
Mama says she doesn't know whats going to happen
To our big beautiful house
Though Daddy worked on the pine straw
Why did you go Daddy?
Why are you leaving?
Don't you see its like watching all the men
That have left me so far
Leave 10 times over?

I know its not about me
And I'm tired of these nights
Where I'll try to wind down
And spend the night crying in bed
Before I close my eyes.

I never thought this would happen to us
I thought we were all gonna make it
Why papa?
Why mama?
Does it have to be this way?


I'm never going to be the same again.
