I can't claim to be guilt free
But I also know its not just me
Tell one lie you are a liar
You must inspire to get her desire
If not proactive she will tire
And extinguish loves great fire
It wouldn't be enough to see me dead
It would only satisfy if she was the cause she said
Bemoaning my flaws and assaulting my pride
While praising the guys at work who have no down side
I thought there was passion and the sex was hot
She tells me I don't satisfy and hot it's not
You must earn it if you want respect
I get none and there's no effort to correct
I can't claim to be guilt free
But I also know its not just me
Tell one lie you are a liar
You must inspire to get her desire
If not proactive she will tire
And extinguish loves great fire
We used to fight now we just disagree
She's told me often she'd love to flee
Wanting to be independent and free
The one big problem in her life was me
Its hard to digest and accept
I feel useless and inept
I've stayed and continued to try
Though it's easy to wonder why
I can't claim to be guilt free
But I also know its not just me
Tell one lie you are a liar
You must inspire to get her desire
If not proactive she will tire
And extinguish loves great fire
She thinks I'm jealous and like to control
Which is not true and it crushes my soul
My best friend and love of my life
I'm not ideal but I always love my beautiful wife
We're so far apart so much damage done
I truly believed she was the one
She doesn't see things the same as me
And won't be at peace until she is free
I am numb and can't feel or cry
It's defeated me and each day I die
I can't claim to be guilt free
But I also know its not just me
Tell one lie you are a liar
You must inspire to get her desire
If not proactive she will tire
And extinguish loves great fire
Both imperfect and very broken
No healing words are shared or spoken
It's easy to judge and say I'm a fool to stay
But I live life my own way
Though it breaks me night and day
Knowing the price I will one day pay
My love has no meaning or value
Yet i persevere and continue
I can't claim to be guilt free
But I also know its not just me
Tell one lie you are a liar
You must inspire to get her desire
If not proactive she will tire
And extinguish loves great fire
