AFFAIR

Taking for granted, What you had to say
It was quite obvious, At the end of the day
Your man got outrageous, (when) You told him the shit
Too heavy to bare the consequences, For me & your kids.

(It) Couldn’t last forever, I realized when we did
Somehow I believed in a fairytale,
But this is the end, the end of the affair.

Taking for granted, What my momma had to say
She warned me from the start, I just ran away
To know it along the way, Her kids need her the most
She would go anyway.
That’s what hurts the most, At the end of the affair.

All I had to say, Come back
All I could stumble, This was not our plan
All I did was cry, All I did was cry, All I did was cry
At the end of the affair.

Taking for granted, My daddy had to cry
Son, step away from it, the way she did,
20 years ago your mamma and I, almost split
Remember your time with uncle Robert, We had our own set-back
You were too little to tell, Your mother had to end her affair.

All I had to say, Come back
All I could stumble, This was not our plan
All I did was cry, All I did was cry, All I did was cry
At the end of the affair.

 
Taking for granted, Not looking back
Trying to forget you, Ain’t an easy fact

I hope you’re happy now, I am not
I hope it is worth a while, After the end, the end of the affair.
