I'm a lyricist who's been fortunate enough to have had the pleasure of collaborating with a few very talented musicians/artists. Above is the result of some of those collaborations.
He comes home late again
This time after ten
Says he grabbed some dinner after work
But when he leans to kiss you
Lies and says he missed you
You can smell a woman on his shirt
Some things never change
But you hang in all the same
Believing you're not strong enough to leave
On Friday night he'll drink
Come Saturday you'll think
Maybe he's gonna soften over time
But his anger and abuses
His pitiful excuses
Promise it gets harder down the line
You'll try to make the best of it
Cover up the rest of it
Believing you're not strong enough to leave
The underlying thought
That dreams are all for naught
Haunts you as you drift away to sleep
When he fumbles in the dark
Wakes you with a start
Reaches for you underneath the sheets
You crawl inside the cold embrace
Of nothing else to take its place
Believing you're not strong enough to leave
