You said that you'll be there when I get home
You'll do the laundry cook the meal for all
But I smell neither garlic nor the cotton when I'm here
All I hear is silence that you left when you disappeared
Why didn't you say
That you wouldn't stay with me forever
Like then on a day you first met me
I don't even care why you had to leave, baby

You tear me apart
Look how selfish you are
Left me behind when
I gave you my life
Where are you now
How am I supposed to tell them how

And you promised that you wouldn't leave before me
Tell me why you couldn't keep your promise

I know that you can't hear me like before
But there are things I think you need to know
The things that you would know if you'd just wait a little more
But you don't like to wait and now they think that it's their fault
Why didn't you say
That you wouldn't stay with me forever
Like then on a day you first met me
I don't even care why you had to leave, baby

You tear me apart
Look how selfish you are
Left me behind when I gave you my life
Where are you now
How am I supposed to tell them how

And you promised that you wouldn't leave before me
Tell me why you couldn't keep your promise
