here we are
what is left of a husband and a wife
with four good kids
who have a way of getting on with their lives
and i'm not old but i'm gettin' a whole lot older everyday
it's too late to keep from goin' crazy
i've got to get away

chorus:
the reasons that i can't stay
don't have a thing to do with bein' in love
and i understand that lovin' a man
shouldn't have to be this rough
and you ain't the only one
who feels like this world's left you far behind
i don't know why you gotta be
angry all the time

our boys are strong now
the spittin' image of you when you were young
i hope someday they can see past what you have become
and i remember every time i said i'd never leave
but what i can't live with is memories of the way you used to be

chorus

twenty years
have came and went since i walked out of your door
i never quite made it back to the one i was before
and God it hurts me
to think of you for the light in your eyes was gone
and sometimes i don't know why
this old world can't leave well enough alone

chorus
