She's tried so hard
To make them all live comfortably
But he is unresponsive
And he's just not listening
The screams echo through the house
They make me want to shut my eyes
Wish it all away
I need someone to sympathize
Why can't he understand
That she gave all her life to me?
Without her I have no joy
I'm empty, hollow, feeling lonely
That she tried to make it better
Makes what you're doing so much worse
Why are we waiting?
The pain of life it always hurts
You don't understand
You make it harder to help me be
A better man
But I can see
What not to do
I'm not going to hit her
Because then I'll be just like you
Love her for us
Love her for the family
Love her for yourself
Leave her alone please
Don't do this
She's packed her bags
And tells me that "we're on our way"
But he won't let her go
And he's just not listening
The shouts as loud as broken glass
They always fill me with this pain
I can't handle this
Skies outside are filled with rain
Why can't he understand
That she means so much to me?
Without her, then he'll have no joy
He'll simply be cramped up, lonely
That she tried to make it better
Makes what you're doing so much worse
Why are we waiting?
The pain of life it always hurts
You don't understand
You make it harder to help me be
A better man
But I can see
What not to do
I'm not going to hit her
Because then I'll be just like you
Love her for us
Love her for the family
Love her for yourself
Leave her alone please
Don't do this
Don't do this
Don't do this
