I Set Him Up!

He says I set him up
I'm not sure for what or how
He won't talk to me
Not about the past or now

I set him up
So we all could be in pain
I set him up
So I could live in the rain
I set him up
For the heartache I feel each day
I set him up
To have him take my step-sons away
I set him up
To struggle over the years
I set him up
So I could cry oceans of tears
I set him up
To sit alone in a trance
I set him up
So alone I can dance
I set him up
So I could start over from scratch
I set him up
For the hole in my heart to big for a patch

So, I guess I set him up.
If I did such a great job how come I'm the one suffering
