Here we are what is left
of a husband & a wife,
with four good kids who
have a way of getting
on with their lives.
and i'm not old but i'm
getting a whole lot
older every day,
it's too late to keep
from going crazy
i've got to get away,
(chorus) the reason that i can't stay
don't have a thing to do with being
in love,
and i understand that loving a man
shouldn't have to be this
rough.
you aren't the only one who feels
like this world's left you far
behind,
i don't know why you gotta
be angry all the time. (end chorus)
our boys are strong now, the spitting
image of you when you were young,
i hope someday that they can see past
what you have become.
and i remember every time i said
i'd never leave,
but what i couldn't live with was
memories of the way you
used to be.
(chorus)
twenty years have came and went
since i walked out of
your door,
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 was gone,
and sometimes i don't know why
this old world can't leave
well enough alone.
(chorus)
