[Verse 1]
Here we are, of what is left of a husband and a wife
With four good kids, who have a way, of getting on with their lives
And I'm not old, but I am getting a whole lot older every day
It's too late to keep from going crazy, I've got to get away

[Chorus]
The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
I understand that loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough
And you ain't the only one who feels like this worlds' left you far behind
I don't know why you got to be angry all the time

[Verse 2]
Our boys are strong now
The spitting image of you when you were young
I hope someday they can see past, what you have become
I remember, every time I said I'd never leave
But what I can't live with is memories of the way you used to be

[Chorus]
The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
I understand that loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough
And you ain't the only one who feels like this worlds' left you far behind
I don't know why you got to be angry all the time

[Verse 3]
Twenty years, have came and went since I walked out of your door
I never quite made it back to the one I was before
And God it hurts me to think of you
For the light in your eyes was gone
Sometimes I don't know why this old world can't leave well enough alone

[Chorus]
The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
I understand that loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough
And you ain't the only one who feels like this worlds' left you far behind
I don't know why you got to be angry all the time
