I knew when we married it wasn't for love
But though that throughout the years it would become
I've waited and waited as time just kept going by, sometimes I pretend it will all be fine
I've tried to make you see me, see me for who I am
I've tried to be a good wife and give you all I had
No affection did you show me or time did you spend, no emotional connection did you ever extend
Never did you look at me with pride in your eyes
Never did you protect me from someone elses lies
Never did you invest in what this marriage could have been
I've become more lonely than I imagined
My heart has been broken and tears have been cried, all the while you act like everything is fine
I've told you and showed you again and again, but you don't listen so we pretend
The years have now taken a toll
Betrayal and lies have all been told
While communication and trust is something unknown
Loneliness holds me
Hopelessness wants in
Despair overtakes me
You win
