Dating a Workaholic

Dating a workaholic 

Is the hardest relationship to be in 

When you feel that you are alone 

In the relationship

Where a lot of promises get made

Yet them same promises get broken 

Which breaks your heart 

The heart gets broken because it belongs to them 

Sacrificing your heart 

Just because you love them 

Knowing that they\'re doing it to better themselves

They say it will benefit you too 

Which makes you feel very proud of them

For all that they have accomplished for themselves 

Yet they don\'t see the pain in your eyes

Waiting by the telephone to ring 

To know they are on there way home

Safe and sound 

They forget that all you want is their undivided attention 

With no distractions 

Yet work will always come first to them

More broken promises made

More tears shed 

They really don\'t see the pain caused 

All because they are thinking about the future 

How it will be better

All they see is you annoying them 

When they are busy 

Not wanting to drag them away from work 

Breaks your heart even more 

They don\'t realize that you feel unloved 

When that isn\'t the case 

They love you very much 

They have to be taught 

That work and home life are different

You didn\'t sign up to be a part time partner

All you want is for them to really see you 

and for them to know how proud you are of them 

For all that they have accomplished

Yet they forget 

That you are there cheering them on 

Yet they forget 

To make a little effort in the relationship

They think you will always be there  

Even though you think about out leaving 

Your heart won\'t let you leave

What keeps you going is knowing 

That it isn\'t going to be forever 

Dating a workaholic is rough 

It just made you stronger and more supportive 

They are grateful for all that you sacrificed for them
