You tell me that you're leaving me-
You want a different life-
Than whatever I can give you
as your loving wife.
You say you want to see the world-
Leave our modern home-
It doesn't matter now - for I've
always felt alone.
Standing all these years beside you-
no one stood with me-
You were busy with your work and
that darn old TV.
Your heart has turned cold-
but I once loved you so-
You're not just leaving me now-
you left about five years ago.
All these year's I've loved you-
years of hanging on-
Crying in my pillow - feeling
so alone.
I buried my love and my passions
deep in my heart-
You may as well leave now - we've
always been apart.
Take my pride with you - take my
heart as you go-
I want need it anymore - I just
carried it for show.
Take my dignity - take my rope-
so I won't keep holding on-
To a man who don't love me -
to a man who's gone.
Loneliness hasn't just moved in -
it's been here for awhile-
I sit here just a shell of a woman-
no passion ..no smile.
In a sea of swirling pain I know
I must go on-
Pain deep in my heart - more
hurt than I have known.
Bags all packed - you stand before me
not knowing what to say-
Just go on out the door - just get
out of my way.
Guess I am the fool here- I'm
the one who cries-
Watching you walk away while
my love slowly dies.....
