Earth 3rd Rock from the sun!!

I've got a question for you
or should I make that 2
did you think I was a saint?
did you think I was little miss innocent?
I guess I had you fooled
and did you think you could change me?
baby there's not a ghost of a chance
i know how you hated it when I would dance

you thought i was your soulmate
what part of our souls ever met?
enough about us lets talk about them for a second
and you said you wanted another
I don't think you could handle it
too worried about all of my distractions
you only dug our hole a little deeper
never on solid ground
you wanted miss suzy homemaker
maybe I just couldn't fake it
now I've got my hands untied
and i am happy how it turned out

and you told your friends
I'd make an excellent wife
tell me do you think they're laughing now?
wasn't worth trying to prove to anyone
and I am happier now....
and I'm still thinking of you
though baby it is really through
it wasn't fair
not enough reasons to stay
no more games left for us to play

'cause our love wasn't a joke
we both felt it
for years falling apart
no more crosses to bear
we were both there
you knew i could never measure up
not like all the others
bake sales and babyshowers
yet everything I did for you
couldn't be happy enough
and I lived through you
had to go it on my own
and now I know everything
is gonna be just fine

I didn't want to be your mother
tried to be your friend
I never thought there would be another
but I was starting to feel like a child
don't think you ever listened to me
tell me is that how you remember it to be?
and you still think I'll come back
tell me what for?
I don't think I could find the strength
to walk back through your door
let it all blow up in our face agian
don't think I want to rewind time.....

playing our foolish games
couldn't go on that way
i know how hard you tried
so many times I cried
i couldn't fill your void
i couldn't heal your wounds
drowning in white zinfindel
living somewhere between heaven and hell
couldn't be your glue
couldn't hold us together
and no I couldn't be what you needed
I guess you needed too much...

I enjoy how your words come across as blunt and conversational.  Very nice, very bold!!!

This is so sincere... I only wish most could be as sincere as you come accross.  For better or for worse, sincerety is what makes it all a little easier.  Great work, I'm glad however it is right now seems to be working out for the best.  

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.

I can relate to this...after a year and one half and a divorce my ex is telling me she is missing me and frustrated and she wants to come back...I imagine if everything is not as perfect as she imagined she is having regrets...but believe me I don't want her to come back...my life has moved on and she is not a part of it...as you said..."tell me for what"...oh yes, there was a day when I wanted her back...but not this day and not this lifetime...James

Perhaps it is one of the saddest events in the human condition... to see someone who just doesn't know 'it's' over.....

the depth of your feeling and willingness to express it is apparent JulieAnn... I think you have quite a bit of raw talent... if you hang out here for a while I'm sure you're going to get better and better

it's a pleasure to read you

ahhhh so true.  If only we knew going in the cost of a desperate relationship.  The needs can cast away the desires so easily and never look back until it is too late.  Well done....Loved the way you presented it.
