What Would You Do?

What would you do
If you were living my life
Would you hold it all together
Continuing to be his wife

Would you tuck away the love
You hold so deep within
Never giving it to anyone
Knowing your heart will never mend

Would you lie alone
In the wee hours of the night
Instead of finding true love
Who made you feel alive

Would you settle for nothing
When you could have it all
Would you hit rock bottom
Rather than have a cushion when you fall

Would you live your eternity
As if you didn't exist
Would you stay in a relationship
Where you were never missed

Would you forfeit happiness
Would you give up on love
Just because you vowed forever
Before friends and god above

Would you continue calling home
To say you're on your way
Accepting of the silence
When he has nothing much to say

Would you keep on living
In a major disaster
Rather than walking out
And finding happiness ever after

Would you forget about making love
And settle for occasional sex
Accepting of the worst
While longing for the best

Would you keep on living
while feeling incomplete
Or would you get up and walk away
Feeling no defeat

Would you sit down each night
Like nothing really mattered
Or would you leave before
Your heart is torn and battered

Would you continue
Walking into sadness
Because you've grown accustomed to
This misery and madness

Would you keep on living life
In the purest disarray
Or would you find the strength
To leave here today

To say I want a DIVORCE
Is harder than breaking up
The laws that we live with
Seem to make it tough

Who is the one to leave
Who gets our little girl
Who pays the child support
Who will win the war

We divide it 50/50
No one can really win
After all the turmoil
Will we be the same again

Will we ever trust enough
To find true love in our lives
Or are we better off
Feeling loneliness tonight
