Houses
Houses Cars Mortgage Kids
All of the Reasonable Things that We did
For security
And for
doing what’s right Be a good
Husband
Be a good
Wife
Defer happiness For another day Hope For good
Luck
Gamble away
When love
Turns to lack
And attack
attack
I must persevere So much on
My back
For me
To stand up
And say
It’s not ok
For you to
Erupt
Ignore
And dismiss
me Away
Would be me being Selfish
So I struggle on It’s not about me This isn’t my song Stay in discord Life is but chore Swallow my pride Learn not to
Cry

I signed up for this So I have to stay
In a home
Without warmth
Joy
Stripped away
Someday luck
Will change
And bestow
Upon me
The happiness
Joy
And love that
I need
Maybe they’ll change Or they could leave me Someday they’ll die Then I’ll be free
To finally collect
The love I deserve
If only I had
Any reserves
You say
I’m too old
To gamble on
Crazy love
Then why do
You do this
I’ll tell you
Because
Your mind knows
You’re trapped
It concocted this plan With you unaware You’re making a stand A light in the dark You shone unto me
Your winning number In the love
