The world is closing in on me
Find it hard to breathe
There’s no love between us
Still I have to play the game
You want everything your way
Keep the kids the house the car
I only want to keep my sanity
My seat here at the bar
I can talk to strangers
Tell our story over and over again
I’m not making much sense
Don’t want this story to end
I know I’ve been gone too much
I got pulled from A to Z
Every street was more money
For you the kids and me
You got bored all alone
Talking on the telephone
No one home for you to hold
I was lost out on the road
I won’t fight you I’ve lost enough
Been counted out too many times
You can take all I’ve got
Just let me see you sometimes
I can love again
Be a better man
No arguments no hitting back
Just learning from these lesson plans
