Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust

Things aren't the way I'd planned.
I want to know why my life is damned.

What did I do to deserve all this?
Why is temptation so hard to resist?

Maybe its because of all the attention she gives me.
Or maybe its how my wife isn't showing me any.

My best friend keeps telling me to quit while I'm ahead.
She'll take you for all your worth is what he said.

I can't take this shit anymore.
I wish things could be the way they were before.

Things were different way back when.
I was happy and never thought to sin.

We laughed and cried and made love under the stars.
Now I find myself closing down the bars.

I'm no longer finding comfort in this smooth Tennessee whiskey.
I only feel it when the other woman begins to kiss me.

Chills run down my spine.
I know this is wrong but this life is mine.

Don't judge me for what you put me through.
All of this started because of you.

I can't remember the last time you touched me.
All I have in my memory is the last time you cussed me.

You try to pretend like you still care.
You know our love is gone, bills and misery is all we have left to share.

Your just too unaffectionate for this to resume.
Our love blew up in smoke, I can see the fumes.

So just walk away, please don't make this hard.
I know you say your sorry and I hate this part.

You'll find someone new, I know that you will.
Just remember when you do, you let them know how you feel.

Don't let it end like us.
Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust.
