Wife You Hoped

girl i don’t know what’s gotten into you

is there something I just couldn’t do

there’s nothing I want more than two

kids and a wrap around porch

but that doesn’t look like it’s in

our future anymore

the pain won’t last

an one day you’re gonna say

how’d I move on so fast

But i’ll remember the time

I became her second best

that’s when I told myself

it was time to put this thing to rest

even if I didn’t wanna let her go

you can’t make her the wife you hoped

I chose you

through and through

even on the days

when it was breaking me down

it turned me into a person that

is lost in this small town

I kept us alive

only for you to let it die

the pain won’t last

an one day you’re gonna say

how’d I move on so fast

But i’ll remember the time

I became her second best

that’s when I told myself

it was time to put this thing to rest

even if I didn’t wanna let her go

you can’t make her the wife you hoped

I saw it all

the kids, the dogs, the backyard and us standin’ tall

you say you want that too

but it’s all on me and nothin fell on you

right?

that kiss just happened out of the blue

but it changed who you were to me overnight

i’ll never get over seein’ her

kiss you out of my sight

the pain won’t last

an one day you’re gonna say

how’d I move on so fast

But i’ll remember the time

I became her second best

that’s when I told myself

it was time to put this thing to rest

even if I didn’t wanna let her go

you can’t make her the wife you hoped
