Here we are, what is left of a husband and a wife... with four good kids who have a way of getting on with their lives.
And i'm not old, but im getting a whole lot older everday. It's too late to keep from going crazy I've got to get away.
The reason that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love.
I understand that loving a man shouldnt have to be this rough.
And you aint the only one who feels like this worlds left you far behind. I dont know why you gotta be angry all the time.
the boys are strong now, the spitting image of you when you were young. I hope some day they can see past what you have become.
And i remember everytime i said i'd never leave.
but, what i cant live with is memories of the way things used to be.
The reason that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love.
I understand that loving a man shouldnt have to be this rough.
And you aint the only one who feels like this worlds left you far behind. I dont know why you gotta be angry all the time.
20 years have came and went since i walked out of your door. and i never quite made it back to the one i was before.
And god it hurts me to think of you, for the light in your eyes is gone. sometimes i dont know why this whole world cant leave well enough alone.
The reason that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love.
I understand that loving a man shouldnt have to be this rough.
And you aint the only one who feels like this worlds left you far behind. I dont know why you gotta be angry all the time.
