You watch him come stumbling through the door
Find yourself wondering if you can take it anymore
The wedding ring bonds until death does part
But what's on your finger is not in your heart
After ten years it's still the same
While the love is gone, the smell of whiskey still remains

You know you can't let him drag you down
That's why some nights you live in another town
You dream of a future where you are free
Maybe it just wasn't meant to be

You stare at the door 'till he comes home
Thinking your happiest days are spent alone
It's tugging at your heart, it replays in your mind
When he's sober, he's one of a kind
That only happens 'bout half of the time
After ten years it's still the same
While the love is gone, the smell of whiskey still remains

You know you can't let him drag you down
That's why some nights you live in another town
You dream of a future where you are free
Maybe it just wasn't meant to be

It's never too late for another start
Age doesn't matter when it concerns the heart

You know you can't let him drag you down
That's why some nights you live in another town
You dream of a future where you are free
Maybe it just wasn't meant to be

And it's time to say your peace and pray a little prayer
To hope he'll make it on his own when you're not there
Then maybe he'll take a look down inside himself
And realize he's married to something else
