Wanda & Judy
We used to look deeply into each others eyes
Now we're afraid to look, because we both know we're telling lies
Once upon a time, I couldn't wait to get home
And talk to you for hours, even over the telephone
But we don't even talk anymore
I get home from work and your on your way to the store
But I know that's an illusion
Shopping for your family just ain't what your doing
Call me up, say you don't want me to worry
And you can't talk long because your in a hurry
That you met up with Wanda and Judy
Going for drinks but that you'll be home early
But you never are, are you!
Home just before I have to leave for work
And then we argue, you argue!
I play dumb, but who dolls up and goes to the grocery store in a mini skirt
You lie to me about what your really doing again and again
And I lie to you, because I go on and pretend
That what your doing to me isn't breaking my soul
Worried about my children growing up in a broken home
Hoping I don't get to the point I put a gun to my head and unload
We used to look deeply into each others eyes
Now we're afraid to look, because we both know we're telling lies

Great write
Thank you!
Welcome
Nice writing about a painful subject, Luke. I suppose sometimes we operate this way, scared and ashamed to ruin our illusions.
Thank you so much!
