For so long I foolishly
Accepted all the promises
“Like you and me, baby
its true love it's meant to be!
He'd tell me
"Have faith in me
Our life will improve”.

Yet he couldn’t be
The man he insisted
on making me believe.
The lies he spouted
Of how good it’ll be,
2.4 kids, 2 cars, normality-
So stupid of me to believe.

I think if I’m honest to myself
Right from the start, I could see
Just how empty and dishonest
His words would always be.
But my desire to be a part
Of something bigger than just me
Clouded my vision,
Influenced my decisions.
Kept me loyal, his possession.

Those 14 years, I followed the fallacy
On and on dumb and blinded,
In my own world of fantasy.
Keeping the house,
Raising our family


Whilst all of these years
living in poverty!
He didn’t become the man
He promised he'd be.
A proud man looking after me!
Working, earning, paying bills.
Not signing on, still being a ***.
