Lyrics

We shared a weekend out in Phoenix AZ
You treated me just like your queen
We held on to each other like we were never gonna
Wake and find the end to all our dreams
You've been with another but now you wonder
If you wanna throw our love away
But I know your secrets & I know you lie
She needs to know the same as I.
CH
Why should I carry all the burden
When should I be the only one in pain
Vows that we've spoken, Baby you have broken
You hide the truth but Why should I
V2
You say it's too late, too much has happened
And we should just go our separate ways
You claim you can't trust me
But that's pretty funny
Coming from the man you are today
You say you still love me but I don't believe it
Your love for her should be just a memory
Cuz I'm still your wife and I can see you with her
And that image takes the life from me.
BR
She wouldn't be there if she knew the truth
Her heart would break in two if she knew you'd been untrue
She has a right to know the same way that I do
That the life we shared together is still a part of you.
CH
Why should I carry all the burden
Why should I be the only one in pain
Vows that we've spoken Baby you have broken
You hide the truth, but why should I
You hide the truth, but why should I
