Waiting For the Answers
Are you going to be at my side
the situation we're in gives us nowhere to hide
and work for you is a nonstop project
and tho we should be closer, i just feel like a reject.
i've been trying so hard for the last 5 years
but whats important to you are your friends and some beers
and though having this baby has made things so clear
now having you in my life is my biggest fear.
I dont want to be alone in this
all i ever get from you is "baby i'll fix this"
but everyday i still wake up to a mess
and i'm not supposed to feel so much stress.
i thought that maybe things would come together
because we've made it through all sorts of weather
but the time you have gives none to me
and it makes me worried where we'll be.
I'll ask for a dollar you say you haven't got it
I ask for a phone a call but you don't have time for it
you say "i'll see you on thursday" and don't see me til Sunday
and i'll be surprised if you text me on Monday.
I want some stability
I want some respect
i'm tired of all these promises
and all this neglect.
I shouldnt have to worry about doing this on my own
or finding things out that i should have already known
and i love him so much but he still hasn't shown
that with this baby, i won't be alone.
