trust is a tender issue we've delved into before
what once was a serene landscape now resembles war
for you to say i'm absent as a father and a mate
and you had to look elsewhere to talk and copulate
makes me want to smash knick knacks to set you straight
you wanna start a fight but i refuse to take the bait
apologies won't help this time they come little too late
i guess infidelity is an unfortunate and inheritable trait
time and time again i folded you in the strength of my embrace
kissed you in soft and warm places lovingly touched your face
held you close in comfort and wrapped your body in lace
i gave all i could give tore open my soul to salve your pain
cooled your fire in the summer covered your head in pouring rain
now i'm force to curse the pillow where your head has lain
hide my eyes so you won't see you are the focus of my shame
true to the end i let you drive me nearly insane
i can't believe i was so blind so dumb so utterly inane
to think you could change and be the woman i'd respect
someone i could love and trust what more should i expect
from the day we met i was sure we could connect
beset on all sides by warnings both near far and up above
thought we could overcome anything as long as we had love
now i say to leave you crying and ask me to forgive your mistake
how many chances do you need how many will you take
no sweetheart my eyes are open i know your pleas are fake
i have to move on to live be strong for little Maliks sake
it hurts inside to know you lied and hid the truth with such ease
i can't hate you but i must go so let go and just let me leave
if i had one wish i would rewind the hands of time and stop
but i can't and so i journey on now that my head is back on top
