I waited all night
For you to come home
I sat in the bedroom
I waited alone.
I watched the time pass
Thinking of you
Imagining you with her
What else could I do?
I’d try to say something
Say something new
Something to shake you
To get through to you.
But when you walked in
It was the same as before
I heard your footsteps
Heard you close the door.
Told me you worked late
But that was a lie
I didn’t believe you
I started to cry.
I could smell her perfume
Your hair looked a mess
Must have left in a hurry
Didn’t take time to dress.
Your tie in your pocket
Your shirt wrinkled but clean
I could only imagine
With what little I’d seen.
Said you were sorry
But you’d fallen for her
After hearing those words
It was all just a blurr!
I dropped to my knees
My world torn apart
I meant nothing to you
You shattered my heart.
I can’t be there
When you pack up your stuff
It’s too hard to accept
That I wasn’t enough.
