[Verse 1]
I was working overtime, paying every bill,
You were glued to that Xbox like it paid the electric bill.
Dirty dishes stacked up, laundry on the floor,
You swore you’d get to it… same as the day before.
I’d come dragging in after a twelve-hour shift,
You’d yell, “Babe, grab me a drink,” like I’d just had a sit.
[Pre-Chorus]
I finally got tired of carrying all your weight,
So I packed your bags and didn’t hesitate.
[Chorus]
You’re somebody else’s problem now,
Somebody else’s couch to wear out.
She can work overtime while you play that game,
Making the same old tired excuses every day.
I needed a partner, not another child,
Someone who’d stand with me mile after mile.
Good luck to the new one… she’s gonna need it now.
You’re somebody else’s problem now.
[Verse 2]
Your phone lit up every time you’d grin,
Guess I wasn’t the only one you were checking in with.
While I was paying rent and buying groceries,
You were out giving somebody else your honesty.
So I boxed up your clothes and your Xbox too,
Left ’em by the front door waiting on you.
[Bridge]
Changed the locks and changed my mind,
Funny how peace is so easy to find.
You lost a home when you lost me,
Now you’re somebody else’s responsibility.
[Final Chorus]
You’re somebody else’s problem now,
Somebody else’s roof somehow.
She can work overtime while you level that game,
Soon enough she’ll know your name.
I needed a partner, not another child,
A grown man willing to walk that mile.
Good luck to the new one… bless her heart somehow.
You’re somebody else’s problem now.
[Outro]
If she asks me what she’s getting into…
I’ll just smile and say…
“Girl… good luck.”
