Lie

feeling defeated and resentful these days

kept telling myself it was just a phase

but its been too long and its been too much

walking on eggshells has lost its touch

i wish it didn’t have to be this way

wish we could just be ok

i wish there wasn’t a baby girl in the mix

wish this all was just a quick fix

maybe it’s better to do it while she’s young

she won’t remember your wicked tongue

maybe I’ll learn to be happy after the pain

watching everything we built fall down like rain

i’m so tired and my voice is cracked

can’t keep up with the happy act

i tried to do everything right

be the one to kiss you goodnight

be a perfect wife

create our dream life

but what’s worth the effort of trying

shouldn’t keep me up at night crying

after 7 years I think I’m done

what I never wanted has won

how was I supposed to know

we had such a sweet hello

but I think it’s time to say goodbye

time to stop living our lie
