​have you tried marriage
therapy what went wrong
but you were so happy
together there must have
been an affair did he cheat
on you you should have gone
on more dates together
you promised forever
how could you go back
on your word but
you were best friends
your poor kids you were perfect
together i never saw it coming
you should have tried harder
to be nice the grass isn’t greener
one day you’ll miss what you gave
up you can’t afford to leave
i know what it’s like to single
parent my spouse travels all
the time how is he doing
i can’t take sides but the bible
says what happened i know exactly
how you feel call me if you need
anything but he wasn’t like that
i don’t know who to believe
there are other fish in the pond
i would never get a divorce is a sin
we almost got divorced you’re better
off without him will you get married
again i never liked him i have a friend
you should meet have you thought
this through screw him over it would
be better for the kids if you stayed you will
find someone better he doesn’t deserve
you maybe you should try harder
i warned you who gets the house
i’m sorry everything happens for
a reason.
