Here we are
What is left of a husband and a wife
With four good kids
Who have a way of getting on with their lives
And I'm not old, but I'm getting a whole lot older everyday
It's too late to keep from going crazy
I've got to get away
The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
And I understand that loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough
And you ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
♪
Our boys are strong now
The spitting image of you when you were young
I hope someday they can see past what you have become
And I remember every time I said I'd never leave
But what I can't live with is memories of the way you used to be
The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
I understand that loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough
And you ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
♪
20 years have came and went since I walked out of your door
I never quite made it back to the one I was before
And God, it hurts me to think of you, 'fore the light in your eyes was gone
And sometimes I don't know why this old world can't leave well enough alone
The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
And I understand that loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough
And you ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
