3It was dark though the day was dawning
And when I reached for you across our bed
I grasped the empty air
I wanted to cry cuz I needed you to keep me warm
And again you weren't there
You're so busy with your job, or so you tell me
I'm not really sure what to believe
Cuz my friends have been nearing rumours
About the "guests" you receive
How many kids you got baby?
How long have you been fooling around?
How long since you buried my face
Six feet underground?
Am I dead to you?
Am I still real?
Would you please tell me
How you feel?
I've done the best that I can do
I've tried so hard to love you
Every single heartache, every breath I take
My heart, my soul, my life
Is yours
But it's not enough, no
Not for you
I can't give you any more
Cuz I've given you all I got
I'm not what you want me to be
But I can't be something I'm not
And I've waited for you so long
But I don't know how I can hold on
My dedication has lost its footing
My loyalty's been abused
You've let me down again and again
My heart has been bruised
I got no reason I should stay
I can feel this love
Slipping away
You only make me cry I know
But every time I try to go
I can't erase
The image of your face
Streaked with tears
Even though I know you'd never cry
Not over me
I'm sitting at the piano playing a sad song
It's the same melody I've been playing for so long
It's getting late now and you're still not home
The stars are awake in the moonlight
And I wonder if you love that woman you're with
Wherever you're sleeping tonight
You don't have the time for roses or romantic things
I don't even remember your kiss
You think expensive gifts account for your absence
At least you know I exist
When you finally come home
I ask if you'll love me tonight
You just smile and say:
"Sorry baby, I'm too tired."
And I know why
Cuz I can smell her perfume
And suddenly this bed I lie in
Feels cold, like a tomb
I get up
And walk to the window
You only make me cry
I know
And as I'm standing there
Wanting to be dead
You say: "Come on baby,
Come back to bed."
Then your arms are around me
And you're saying: "Baby, what's wrong?"
It's then that I know
Why I hold on
Damn you baby
I know you can love me like a man
So why don't you baby
Is it me?
I don't understand
I've done the best that I can do
I've tried so hard to love you
Every single heartache, every breath I take
My heart, my soul, my life
Is yours
But it's not enough, no
Not for you
I can't give you any more
Cuz I've given you all I got
I'm not what you want me to be
But I can't be something I'm not
And I've waited for you so long
But I don't know how I can hold on
My dedication has lost its footing
My loyalty's been abused
You've let me down again and again
My heart has been bruised
I got no reason I should stay
I can feel this love
Slipping away
You only make me cry I know
But every time I try to go
I can't erase
The image of your face
Streaked with tears
Even though I know you'd never cry
Not over me
