From myself for far too long
The truth is, I'm confused
About where I belong
I'm not a mother or a wife
And I'm living such a complicated life
And this is the life I know
My life is full
In some of the most important ways
The entity, in the core
At the end of everyday
I lock the door, turn out the lights
And I climb in bed
And it's all alright
'Cause this is the life I know
I cut the grass
Take out the trash
And fill the gas
In this house
I am the mom, and the dad
What tomorrow brings
I do not know
Yes, I know it's unconventional
But, it's the life I know
We all have a secret pain
We all have a tender place
We were born to learn more
And no I'm not meant to live alone
And this is the life I know
Yes, this is the life I know
All my friends
Are having families of their own
I'm still waiting for
The perfect one to come
Almost four decades in
If I'm blessed, then I've got five more to go
And this is the life I know
Sometime it hurts like hell
But I walk away with a song
And a story to tell
And this is the life I know
Yes, this is the life I know
And this is the life I know
I have kept this secret From myself for far too long The truth is, I'm confused About where I belong I'm not a mother or a wife And I'm living such a complicated life And this is the life I know My life is full In some of the most important ways The entity, in the core At the end of everyday I lock the door, turn out the lights And I climb in bed And it's all alright 'Cause this is the life I know I cut the grass Take out the trash And fill the gas In this house I am the mom, and the dad What tomorrow brings I do not know Yes, I know it's unconventional But, it's the life I know We all have a secret pain We all have a tender place We were born to learn more And no I'm not meant to live alone And this is the life I know Yes, this is the life I know All my friends Are having families of their own I'm still waiting for The perfect one to come Almost four decades in If I'm blessed, then I've got five more to go And this is the life I know Sometime it hurts like hell But I walk away with a song And a story to tell And this is the life I know Yes, this is the life I know And this is the life I know Explain Request ×
