That Wife
The way you looked at me
When you were leavin
You were sayin, your last goodbye
I could see it, smoking out of your grey eyes
I could read the thank yous
I could read I'm sorry
I could read I love you
I could read come with me
But I just stood there
I smiled at you and watched you walk away
Cause I'm not gonna run after you
I'm not gonna spend my whole life like a covered up, faded tattoo
But she will bring you beer
And she will bake you pies
And she will tell you everything you wanna hear, and I
I couldn't be, I could never be that wife
I wouldn't sleep before you're home
I wouldn't try to hold my tongue
I wouldn't dare be a possession
I would be your truest love
And if you're afraid of me
Then just let it be
I'm almost grateful
That we ended up this way
I wont be bowing at your feet
Because I'm not that kind of girl
I know you know that about me
I could see the previews
I could see the movies
I could hear I love you
I could hear she's with me
And I wanted to believe that that was how you wanted me
Cause I'm not gonna run after you
I'm not gonna spend my whole life like a covered up, faded tattoo
But she will bring you beer
And she will bake you pies
And she will tell you everything you wanna hear, and I
I couldn't be, I could never be that wife
I wouldn't sleep before you're home
I wouldn't try to hold my tongue
I wouldn't dare be a possession
I would be your truest love
And if you're afraid of me
Then just let it be
Still we were quite the team
And you were better than a dream
But in the end, you taught me
That we can't have everything
But she will bring you beer
And she will bake you pies
And she will tell you everything you wanna hear, and I
I couldn't be, I could never be that wife
I wouldn't sleep before you're home
I wouldn't try to hold my tongue
I wouldn't dare be a possession
I would be your truest love
And if you're afraid of me
Then just let it be
When you were leavin
You were sayin, your last goodbye
I could see it, smoking out of your grey eyes
I could read the thank yous
I could read I'm sorry
I could read I love you
I could read come with me
But I just stood there
I smiled at you and watched you walk away
Cause I'm not gonna run after you
I'm not gonna spend my whole life like a covered up, faded tattoo
But she will bring you beer
And she will bake you pies
And she will tell you everything you wanna hear, and I
I couldn't be, I could never be that wife
I wouldn't sleep before you're home
I wouldn't try to hold my tongue
I wouldn't dare be a possession
I would be your truest love
And if you're afraid of me

And if you're afraid of me
Then just let it be
