I married you and thought I knew you quite well

But your temperament shown through and started to swell

I tried to honor the commitments we made

But you're difficult behavior made it all fade

I moved out once and you wanted me back

I came back but you stayed on the same track

I moved out again this time for two days

You said you recognized your irrational ways

I move out again next time for two weeks

You swore your irrationality you were going to tweak

I hoped the third time would be the charm

But you only got worse in my mental alarm

It's now the fourth time you think I would learn

This time for a year and on my own terms

We begin to date and things look better

We talked about buying a house together

I thought I could trust the man that I knew

You prove me wrong and moved her in out of the blue

She's there for a week you then moved her out

You say she's a roommate but I sure have my doubts

We date again and to my shock

You move her back in lock and stock

A month and a half later she's out again

What's wrong with this picture that you are in

You think I'm a yo-yo for your own pleasure

I don't seem to be anything that you treasure

How sad for you you're so miserable inside

I long for the man with that beautiful side

Was it all a façade you used to deceive

No faith in your heart you just don't believe

I loved you so much right from the start

You destroyed our love you tore us apart

Love with your partner should be give-and-take

You can't give your heart there's too much at stake

If your brand new yo-yo makes a return

Sad for her she'll be the one to get burned
