Verse:
Gbm A E
I pack my bags & say goodbye to my wife

They said it gets easier, but they lied.

She looks at me & says "really baby, I will be just fine,"

How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to

She needs me, but I know they need me too.

So God, give me the strength to do what you created me to do.
