I Never Thought...

I never thought our marriage would end.

You were my lover, my best friend.

I tried to have faith and remain strong,

But along the way too much went wrong.

Everything you told me was a lie,

It never bothered you to see me cry.

I wanted to see you grow up and be a man,

But now thinking about it, I'm not sure you can.

I gave you all I had inside of me.

When all you wanted was to be free.

Well, now you can have your new, wonderful life.

Forget about me, forget I was ever your wife.

I will get through everything, you will see.

I understand now this is the way it should be.

I will keep on moving right along,

Until I find the place where I belong.

I no longer care about what you do.

Because there no longer is a place in my heart for you.
