Raindrops are falling on the patio
I’m counting the days ‘til you come home
Please (oh) please keep your heart on your sleeve
‘Cause if you don’t I’ll never leave

I’m in a car on the freeway it’s so slow
Living by the green light sure gets old
It seems like we’re all birds in a cage
We think we’re so free
But when the time comes we don’t have the key

Came back from work that afternoon
It was one of those rainy days in June
Clothes were strewn all over the floor
That lace it was so red
At that moment I wanted you dead

Oh but we try so hard
Just to make it right
Make it feel like
It’s gonna last forever
But nothing lasts forever

Never thought it would happen this way
Thought it was death til us part
At least that’s what they say
Guess I was wrong
Live and learn that way

Went to court got custody
Your incompetence was probably the key
If I ever happen to see you again
It would never be on the terms of friends

Oh but we try so hard
Just to make it right
Make it feel like
It’s gonna last forever
But nothing lasts forever
