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
