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
