Broken Expectations

Broken Promises
 You said that you wouldn't do this to me
 But now you say you are done 
 While I sit here alone with our baby
 You're still out there having fun 
 Yet you said you wanted to be in his life
 Said you wanted to be a dad 
 Gave me a ring calling me your future wife
 Then you had to give up everything we had
 Because I caught you with another girl
 Yet you were steady making up a lie
 Told us we was your whole world
 But It's like you keep passing us by
 Because theres always going to be another thing
 That interest you more than we do
 So here I give you back this ring
 Until you figure out what you're supposed to do
 You'll realize this when she's gone
 And you start wanting Me and your son
 Too bad we've already moved on
 While you were still out there having fun
