Every day after work you come home to HER
And she gets hours upon hours of your time
Then you come back to me when you’re tired
And you shamelessly think that’s fine
You touch her more than you do me
And yet you say you love me more
I was in disbelief by the way you treated her
As I watched the two of you from the door
She enjoyed how you controlled her every move
As you held her ever so close
With every piece of me breaking away
For it was her over me you chose
What does SHE have that I don't?
That makes you feel “all warm inside”
You felt the need to declare to me
This affair you refuse to hide
Why is she getting all your attention?
When I was clearly here first
I even over heard you call her “baby”
Do you know how much that hurt?
You place her high on a pedestal
Taking care of her every need
When I’m trying to be all I can for you
But yet you just don’t seem to see
Now with every day you’re slipping away
No longer the man I once knew
I’ve tried all I can and have run out of options
I just don’t know what to do
Maybe it would be best if I go ahead and leave
I doubt that you would miss me
Cos I’ve come to realise
I can’t compete
With your damn XBOX 360!
