Will You Ever Understand?

I’ve cried too many tears and hurt for so long,
When are you going to realize you were the one who was wrong?
Spent many nights thinking about how you disrespect me
Do I really deserve this? Or was this not meant to be?
I don’t know how much longer I can take this from you,
Will you ever understand this from my point of view?
Because continuing to cry doesn’t ever seem to help.
Should I stay, or should I leave?
Maybe we should take a break and think about what we need.

Accepting your apologies and begging on your knees,
You actually think that I’ll agree?
You must be crazy if you think I’ll forgive you,
There were so many expectations that you never lived up to.
I’m tired of hurting and all of this pain,
You’re actually about to make me go insane.
Should I stay, or should I leave?
Maybe we should take a break and think about what we need.

What does she give you that I don’t?
It’s obvious you don’t love me anymore,
I can’t stand to see you walk out that door.
But you were happier than ever when she gave you her key,
Not once did you think about our family.
Don’t you see the pain you’re causing me?
Should I stay, or should I leave?
Maybe we should take a break and think about what we need.
