Broken Dishes

It's 8 O clock you said that you'd be home by 4:30

Did your watch stop?

I've cooked another lovely dinner which will end up going in the bin

I knew that cooking for you was a waste of time but I always seem to give in

Time and time again I've tried so hard to look on the bright side

Even though you never come home when you say and you always have things to hide

You swore to me that this was the last time

As I'm not here just to be your housemaid and I will no longer bite my tongue and pretend that everything is fine

Why can't you see how much you're hurting me?

And why are you never where you're suppose to be?

I've had enough you either tell me what's going on or we're through

I might never be in love again but I'd rather be broken hearted than spend another day waiting for you

We were meant to be a loving husband and a doting wife

Not two people who don't belong in the same life

It's 10:43 when you stroll in with lipstick on your face

Seeing this I melt into my own disgrace

You try coming onto me with all of your charm

But that's not going to work tonight as I think I'm going do you some serious harm

Accusations are made and anger is shown

And instead of you sweet talking me you have to duck so you're not hit by the things I've thrown

My fists are clenched as my tears start to sting

In your innocent eyes you don't think you've done anything

You try to console me and tell me that I've got it wrong

But I've been watching you and all the others for far too long

I tell you it's over and go to pack my bag

You come over all angry and tell me not to nag

It's the morning after and our once tidy house is now a complete mess

You didn't even come to bed you actually stayed downstairs to get dressed

It's hard to say that once we had a loving relationship that was full of wishes

And now all that's left of it is mashed up broken dishes.
