Like an unfinished anniversary painting that was meant for me
Thats how i feel left without you in misery
The kids are with me so that keeps me sane
But what do i say when one of them says, i want you and mommy to be married again
Do i tell her the truth? And say its all my fault
That i kept lying to you and at the end we just fought
That i couldn’t man up and talk to you about feelings
That i thought wed get through it but really it just kept building
That when i asked you about your mom and you said you were ok
That i made myself believe it and thought it’d go away
That i cheated on you when you loved me the most
And when this happened it made YOU feel gross
That when she was just 2 i smacked her too rough
That the cops came and took me away in handcuffs
That drugs tore your family apart
And when you asked ME to stop, i said no and you lost your sweetheart
The only thing i can tell her is that its not her fault
And that its not for her to worry about to not be distraught
