Suppose To Be Mine

Has it always been this easy for you, 
I took our relationship serious. 
You think I don’t know about that other guy, 
How you sneak around being mysterious. 

From day one you haven't been faithful, 
When we fight about it you say to quit the be itchin'. 
I know you've had him in our house, 
Even when I've been home in our kitchen. 

How could you do this to us, 
I've stood by you after all the mistrusts. 
How could you do that in our home, 
In the next bedroom you've taken his thrusts. 

I don’t know how I could be this out of the loop, 
I can't believe it because I don’t want this to end. 
You’re suppose to be my girl, my love, my wife, 
But you don’t even care being caught by each of our friends. 

You say I'm crazy and making stuff up, 
You only tell me you love me when you've done wrong. 
You have bared two children I know one isn't mine, 
Why do I stay in this broken love song. 

I have a the feeling this is still going on, 
You tell me baby I would never do that again to you. 
But your night class was over at eleven, 
Why are you still not home at a quarter to two. 

I know I should leave you, 
I'm a man I'm suppose to be strong. 
I just don't how to do it on my own, 
In your lies I guess is where I am to belong.

This is heartbreaking, Jessica. If he's staying out that late, you have a reason to be suspicious given his history of infidelity. I hope you find someone who is more deserving of your love and trust so you can put an end to the "broken love song." Best wishes, Carolyn
