Lyrics

I see the light on in our room, as I pull into the drive
Tuck my tail between my legs, and I slowly step inside
I know I stayed out late again and never took the time to call
You sat here wondering where I've been and if I even care at all
First things first, I need to tell you that I love you
Before this goes from bad to worse, want you to know I understand
The many ways you've had to sacrifice
I don't take for granted all the dreams you set aside
And I take the blame for every tear you've cried
Over the failures of this man
We sit in silence for a while, no bitter words or slamming doors
Perhaps you've given up on me, or it's just a calm before the storm
We've never failed to find the words that cut more deeply than before
And leave a scar upon our hearts
With tongues much sharper than the sword
So, first things first, I need to tell you that I love you
Before this goes from bad to worse, want you to know I understand
The many ways you've had to sacrifice
I don't take for granted all the dreams you set aside
And I take the blame for every tear you've cried
Over the failures of this man
Let's take the kids to Grandma's
Send the dog outside
We'll try to stoke the embers of a fire that's almost died
But, first things first, I need to tell you that I love you
Before this goes from bad to worse, want you to know I understand
The many ways you've had to sacrifice
I don't take for granted all the dreams you set aside
And I take the blame for every tear you've cried
Over the failures of this man
