I wish I was as blind as you think I am
I wish I could unsee
everything you think you conceal
that is so obvious to me.
the quiet phone calls you deny,
the pictures that you receive
the messages you send constantly--
your lies are getting hard to believe.
and what's worse is you think you're clever
you think I'm ignorant or naive
when in reality, I'm just silent
I see exactly what's up your sleeve.
I'm just kidding myself for now
just bidding my time
trying to make up a plan
trying to make up my mind
our family feels fractured now
and my self esteem is gone
I do wish I knew where I'd failed
where I went wrong
but I know one day you'll wake up
and my time will be done
you'll be free to do as you choose
my kids and I will run.
I want you to choose me.
I'm waiting for you to change your mind
but it's getting obvious to me
and you're running out of time.
I was ready to do anything for you
and live in wedded bliss
but you decided to be unfaithful
I just hope she's worth it.
