She lives in a big house
Drives a fast car
He spends long hours working to provide
Never has the time for a moment to spare
The business always on his mind
What she needs so much is now so hard to find
But it all came so easy once upon a time
She said she's going out for a little while
Soon appears a pout from a fading smile
She wants him to say no just stay home tonight
But without even looking he just says alright
He has his nose buried
In a manila file
That he will be lost in for quite some while
She has everything that money can buy
Luxurious spaces she can hang her head and cry
Sometimes words are said that leave scars forever
Unseen but they take their toll
Trying to find answers somehow just makes things harder
In ways that he'll never know
Sometimes the child inside completely takes over
And makes those little things look so tall
Sometimes the injury can feel almost fatal
It makes us regret that we feel
Makes us dislike who we are
Makes us regret that we feel
Makes us dislike who we are
They use to be so in love
But now their not even friends
They'd just separate and start brand new lives
If it wasn't for the kids
He drinks a lot
She drinks a little
For her its all about the pills
They share a bed
But keep separate hours
She spends the money
He pays the bills
What once was a holy union
Is now just a civil compromise
She plays the part for their friends and the children
But you can see it in her eyes
Sometimes words are said that leave scars forever
Unseen but they take their toll
Trying to find answers somehow just makes things harder
In ways that he'll never know
Sometimes the child inside completely takes over
And makes those little things look so tall
Sometimes the injury can feel almost fatal
It makes us regret that we feel
Makes us dislike who we are
Makes us regret that we feel
Makes us dislike who we are
She lives in a big house
She drives a fast car
