The Halftime Show

Relationship hit breaking point, we had to take a break Look back wondering was it all just a big mistake She gathered all her belongings and moved up out the house I had to gather my thoughts, move on without a spouse She took the kids, left me alone up in an empty crib Lost and confused not knowing all the wrong that I did Like how we get to this, I thought we were better than this Guess I was kinda distracted, something I must've missed All work left no time for play at the end of the day I had to try to find balance is what she'd always say She knew the life I was in, I was a journey man Shacked up in hotels far away working on distant land It broke my heart to come home and everybody gone She send me messages but why she don't answer the phone I close my eyes to try to figure out what I'm gone do Pick up the pieces, patch it up and make it like new It wasn't you, it was me, that what she told me She was battling demons and plus she miss the old me I guess we both lost focus, no need to point the finger We skip the custody battle, didn't put me through the wringer Kept the court out the picture, we work cordially And picked the kids up on the weekend like normally That shit sucks though, we was like the Huxtables Put our shit out on the table and aired out our troubles But then something was missing and we became distant Hard to get each others attention, it used to be instant We shared a vision but images can get distorted When we bobble heads all in our phone and blindly support it And now we act like we forget, we never even listened Got us arguing and breaking all the dishes in the kitchen Miss communication, there's gotta be an explanation Can't go on if this is how we handle every situation I put my game face on so I can stand strong I gotta make some changes if I don't want this shit to prolong It's like things was all good just a week ago What the hell am I saying, that was almost 2 years ago The honeymoon phase, yea that was the best stage Nothing like our last days, that felt like the dark age We showed our ass out in public, we was the main attraction Yea, we was over the top, we was just over reacting We try to change and work together, be on same team Like ain't no place for us to go but up while we fighting the stream There's no such thing as immaculate relationships It's hard to keep a ship afloat when it's constantly taking hits That's why we keep patch kits, especially if you have kids Parents always forget they growing up in this madness And that's the sadness we learn how to live with Hold it all deep inside like it's nobody's business
