when hope meets reality, I hope they get along
it's getting awful hard to make up reasons why you're gone
the boy needs a mother
the girls need new shoes
they can't get grown on phone calls
and I can't make love all alone
so tragedy meets distance, and that's a book that sells
cause everybody loves to burn, but no one wants to go to hell
go to hell with all your petty words
go away until you're well
I cry my eyes out blue and black, but I can't make you love me back
cold feet meet ambition, and something's gotta move
your head and heart, the life we started
have no say in what you choose
so there we were at breakfast, the business end of 6 a.m.
kids think momma went to church
in a way I think she did
but I'm the one stuck here at home, praying to god you don't stay gone
dignity meets vanity, we all know whose word goes
everything seems dignified when you sit on a throne
I made this one myself
carved it up for someone else
she's as gone as you're gone now
you took her place and then walked out
I blame you for my burning house
I can't make you love me back
I pray to god you don't stay gone
they can't get grown on phone calls
and I can't make love all alone
