I Didn'T Have Time

I didn't have time to wait for him each night I didn't have time to sit there and pick a fight I could wait for him to come home stumbling back from the bar in a crooked line but I didn't have the time. Nearing 30 and still no kids divorced and on my own yet so much life to live do I try and fall back in love start the family and settle in a town where so much of my hurt inside comes from I could toss and turn and never decide but I just didn't have the time A positive outlook is what I need knowing now I can plant my roots any place I please not tied down, finally free then why is it that I'm still unhappy I can dwell in my mistakes I can sit down and cry I can stay awake at night wondering why but that's no way to live make time for your happiness make time for your wellness being alone isn't so bad plan for the future, leave the past behind now you have the time.
