How He Must Feel

How He Must Feel

here she goes again
how many times do we have to
go through this?

why can't she be
more like me?
i feel the same way

unlike her i just
refuse to give in to it
i just stay distracted

anything to keep
my mind off of it all
but she has to remind me

i never get what i want
she always does
she's got it so good

she's so helpless
i'm always taking care of her
when is it my turn?

if she's not sick she's tired
can't anyone see my side?
i'm a living martyr

everyone should be so lucky
to have someone like me
i handle it all and then some

one of these days
she's going to wake up
and smell the coffee

but it won't be me
making it anymore.
i can only take so much

there's no curing her
she's perpetually helpless
how did i get this burden?

it all looked so easy
back then she was so pretty
now what do i have?

if i needed an anchor
i would have asked...
but i got one, anyway.
