The Ring Didnt Do It
The ring didn't do it
Nor did the kid number one
And kid number two
I even woke you up early sunday mornings
To go to church
Hoping to save you, us
Even after you got home two in the morning that day from clubbing
And counseling was a bad idea
I did everything i could
To help us, for our marriage
They told me it's a cultural thing
I believed it was bad genes
The constant fighting, i started seeing no hope
I wanted out
I wanted to be far away from you as much as i could
But the kids loved you, they still do
And they were growing faster than we could tell
He was becoming more like you, like daddy like son
And she was so much like me, she reminded me of me
They reminded us of us
And we wanted to be better
The drinking had stopped and the partying had declined
We were growing older, you needed me more
I needed you even more
The spectacles of our eyes
Had matured with age
And with that, so was our maturity of love
