The Other Woman

But you’ve got kids and a wife,

You can’t leave it behind.

So I’m stuck wondering why

I do what I did.

But I know in a heartbeat

I’d do it again,

and that’s why I’m sick in the head.

I know it’s wrong,

but this is so right.

You’re in my heart,

but your place at night.

Talking for hours

in between fights.

So tell me what to do

to make it easier for you.

Tell me what to say

to make this okay.

Is it heartbreak if she doesn’t know?

Is it wrong if you still go home?

I’m tired of hiding this love.

Affair is a dirty word,

complicated relationships

and feelings aren’t heard

when they’re quiet on the sidelines,

waiting in the bylines,

clinging to a promise

of a future that won’t ever be.

Heartbreak is heard around the world,

because you chose your family.

I can’t say I’m surprised,

but I’m disappointed in me.

I know I’d do it all again

to feel this love once more

and that’s why I’m sick in the head.
