When I was young, from everyone

I got the same old dream

Stand by your man, try hard as you can

And you’ll be his everything

CH:

To have, hold, love til you die

When did those promises turn into lies

I stayed for the kids, the dreams we once had

Found all the blame in myself

Compromised, gave up my mind

And he finds him somebody else

CH:

Bridge:

I could cry when I look at my life

Years and years lost time

Years and years of sacrifice

Learning to be blind

CH:

I saw through the pain he never would change

I thought I would crumble away

I used to pretend, but never again

Never would be the same
