If I Ever Told You
If I ever told you
about how I really feel,
I'd never hear the end of it
with this, I can not deal.
I thought you were happy
but I guess that was never true,
you'd rather be with someone else
go ahead, I won't stop you.
You've wanted to leave for years
go ahead, there's the door,
don't let it hit you on the way out
never again, will you call me a whore.
I do all the cooking now
and all of the housework,
I am not your damn maid
make your own sandwich you jerk.
Things you can do yourself
you flat out, refuse to,
there are days that I wish
I never even met you.
You left an empty hole in my heart
and left me feeling blue,
you would leave me in an instant
my true feelings, if I ever told you.

I can't get over the hurt I've gone through over the past fourteen years or more. I used to be a happy-go-lucky person, but not lately. The way I've been feeling...is bringing me down. It feels like my soul doesn't exist inside of me anymore.
