Got her bags all packed to go
She'll find some other poor pilgrim who's braver
At least she looked me in the eye
With her less than fond goodbye
That's one small thing in her favour
Got the kids in the car
Dreams will get you just so far
Then life gives you bitter pills to savour
Still she kissed me once more
As she gently slammed the door
That's another small thing in her favour
She said she felt bad
For the home that we had
And the effort I'd wasted to save her
She told me as much
As she slowly let out the clutch
That's another small thing in her favour
It's a slippery slope
To give her more rope
And I didn't exactly enslave her
And she says I'm still a part
Of her wandering heart
That's another small thing in her favour
Now there's trouble and strife
But we once had a life
For a while our vows didn't waver
I relied on her smile
And her love, for a while
That's another small thing in her favour
That's another small thing in her favour
Got her ducks all in a row Got her bags all packed to go She'll find some other poor pilgrim who's braver At least she looked me in the eye With her less than fond goodbye That's one small thing in her favour Got the kids in the car Dreams will get you just so far Then life gives you bitter pills to savour Still she kissed me once more As she gently slammed the door That's another small thing in her favour She said she felt bad For the home that we had And the effort I'd wasted to save her She told me as much As she slowly let out the clutch That's another small thing in her favour It's a slippery slope To give her more rope And I didn't exactly enslave her And she says I'm still a part Of her wandering heart That's another small thing in her favour Now there's trouble and strife But we once had a life For a while our vows didn't waver I relied on her smile And her love, for a while That's another small thing in her favour That's another small thing in her favour Explain Request ×
