Go ahead, leave
Your frosty eyes, already far-gone
They got their soldier boots on
Stomping, marching their way
To your Soufflé smelling house, in the corner named Homely
-- which I pass by fast and never visit unarmed,

Can your eyes be more stubbornly righteous

Go ahead, leave
Your kids, in bed, looking for their daddy
-- the superman, the batman, the hero, the hellion
To tuck them in, kiss their foreheads
Whisper them "I love you" as their daddy always has,
For the last 4 years, their years with no pain,
Your years with no drama,
We couldn't have been more cautious

"I will always be there for you"
As a daddy, you promised them,
As a lover, you promised me
But the greedy man has woken up
Looked around, found the world on its knees,
Beseeching, choose one or lose both

Honey, you look lost,
Like a brainless rat in a maze
How sad the face, the youth and strength is gone
So is the lust, the greedy man has woken up

Don't say sorry, just keep your mouth shut
So what, I lost you yesterday
I lose you today
And I lose you tomorrow.

To that wood spoon swinging wife of yours
To those painless, miserable brats of yours

For I'm just the other woman,
Your soul has to march away from
And that is the inevitable
I can't march away from.
