Cracks
Thirty years of resentment
Still a victim of the cycle
Of circumstance, of a marriage
She has to take the leap
It seems like a lifetime ago
Two kids out starving on their own
Ancient history
Somehow seems even further away
With a giant can of Krylon and a pawn shop ring
He wrote the words in stone
Thirty years of resentment
Still a victim of the cycle
Of circumstance, of the same man
"You sit there in your fucking chair all day
You say these words to me every single day
I'm sure you'd find a way to
Change for me, for a moment
But I can't
Oh no, I can't. I can't. I can't."
It took her a lifetime to go
five kids and a nice suburban home
Mortgage was months behind
Another problem, another time
He pleads for her to stay for the sake of the children
She said she wouldn't stand for the humiliation
He screams for the last time, "You're wrecking a home"
But there were always cracks in the foundation
She thinks about him sometimes
And she cries when she thinks sometimes
But she smiles for the first time
Still a victim of the cycle
Of circumstance, of a marriage
She has to take the leap
It seems like a lifetime ago
Two kids out starving on their own
Ancient history
Somehow seems even further away
With a giant can of Krylon and a pawn shop ring
He wrote the words in stone
Thirty years of resentment
Still a victim of the cycle
Of circumstance, of the same man
"You sit there in your fucking chair all day
You say these words to me every single day
I'm sure you'd find a way to
Change for me, for a moment
But I can't
Oh no, I can't. I can't. I can't."
It took her a lifetime to go
five kids and a nice suburban home
Mortgage was months behind
Another problem, another time
He pleads for her to stay for the sake of the children
She said she wouldn't stand for the humiliation
He screams for the last time, "You're wrecking a home"
But there were always cracks in the foundation
She thinks about him sometimes
And she cries when she thinks sometimes
But she smiles for the first time
