I Don'T Want To Leave
I don't want to leave
I've always wanted my own house,
there's no point in arguing with you
so I stay quiet like a mouse.
You say we'll have to move next Fall
I think you're jumping the gun,
you always get like this when bills are bad
you always want to run.
Stop being such a cry baby
we'll make it through,
you know, they're my bills as well
paying them isn't always up to you.
I will get a damn job
so stop being in your cry baby mode,
take a damn chill pill
it's not only us going down this road.
If I get a job though
you have to promise me this,
stop drinking and flushing our money
every time you take a piss.
It isn't fair to me
because you feel this way,
my dream of being a homeowner, shattered
I guess that's the price I'll pay.
