this man I married is buried deep
|
and the more I try to wake him, the more he sleeps
|
I used to think I knew this man
|
the tenderness, not the back of his hand
|
|
it's been two weeks since he last had a drink
|
but the time bombs ticking, I can never sleep
|
it would be easier if he did
|
why do you stay here, stay with him?
|
|
why do you do it?
|
why do you treat us bad?
|
when you've got two kids that love you
|
and a wife that's missing you bad
|
I've got to go now
|
I've got to say goodbye
|
don't try to stop us now
|
and please don't you cry
|
can't you see. we've all been through it
|
it's all been said before
|
with all these fears,
|
for how many years can I keep coming
|
back for more
|
no more
|
|
must be addicted to all this pain
|
cause I keep coming back for the shame
|
dear god give me the strength to leave
|
I've got to keep going, keep going this time
|
|
don't try to stop us now
|
don't pull that stuff on me
|
I've got the kids all packed up
|
harry's in the back with his pick up truck
|
jenny's fallen asleep again
|
I've got to keep driving till i reach the end
|
|
I can't come back here anymore
|
and I know it
|
and I know it
|
I can't come back here anymore
|
and I know it
|
and I know it
|
