Never Enough

I knew in my heart we were no longer one It was less than a year and you were already done We were new parents with a little girl I assumed we would be priorities in your world You had other plans unknown to me My husband no longer belonged just to me I tried and I cried all that I could I prayed for you to do what you should I don't understand why I wasn't enough for you? Or why this marriage was so tough for you? We dreamed out loud our future together We made vows with tears and promised forever Remember the times you swore you would change? Then whose life was it that got rearranged? I begged for counseling right from the start You gave your word then took no part I look back and I see all the fighting and crying It could've been better had you really been trying How many times did you ask me for space? And say "don't sweat me, get out of my face" Then you smile and say what I want to hear Becoming a better liar with every single tear Your words say so much but actions speak less You play with my head and leave my emotions a mess
