Another Lullaby, Another Tearful Night

What am I asking for from you?
Do you really not know…?

When we wake up in the morning,
I need a kiss to say hello…
You get ready and I’ll hold you,
Kiss me again before you go.

I wait all day for you to come home
Cooking, cleaning, being a wife
And eventually you’d get home,
With a kiss, tell me it looks really nice.

We eat together, discuss everything
Laughing, just being alright
We would pop in a movie (one of both our choosing)
And cuddle up to finish the night

And in the bedroom,
Instead of screwing each other
Make love until the morning
And thank God we’re together.

Now what have I seen?
Well that’s a great question…

When we wake up in the morning
After fighting all night
You slowly get out of bed
And once again, another fight

I’ve waited all day for you to come home
Cooked, cleaned, been your slave
You’ve come home and put your stuff down
And tell me it just looks ok.

We’ve eaten together…in a way
You distracted by computer games
And me, sitting and waiting…alone
Thinking maybe someday…

And in the bedroom
You only touch for a while
Then when you’ve had your fill
Turn away, without a kiss or a smile….

Baby is it so impossible?
To pretend to love…pretend to care?
I thought we were in this forever…
Or are you a tease for all of my prayers?
