Im Tired of Trying

i,m so tired of trying to fight
to make this marriage work
i try to be the best wife 
while you try to be a jerk

you cant really love me 
when you treat me the way you do
i,ve tried for 12years
to make you see your wrong
i guess maybe the next woman be better for you
after i finally give up and am gone

i,ve loved you all this time
going through stuff and hanging on
but its time to let go
and try to make a new life
why couldnt you just love me
and i was a good wife
now i,ll never know
