Patching Walls And Scrubbing Floors
Patching walls and scrubbing floors
Replacing broken dishes, replacing doors
What happened to our love?
Yelling words that keep the neighbors awake
Slamming doors hard enough to cause a quake
Why is there so much bad blood?
You’re not the same and neither am I
We stare in disbelief and wonder why
How did we get to this place?
We keep playing these head games
I know we are both to blame
Can we have a heart to heart, face to face?
I pull my hair out, frustration sets in
Halfway through I wonder why did we begin
Are you still here?
Have you checked out, want to be anywhere else
We have our children, quit thinking of your self
This was my worst fear
Can we get to where we were before?
Instead of patching walls and scrubbing floors
Do we walk away or give it one more try?
Were all these years just a mistake?
Was our love for each other fake?
Do we talk it out or say one last goodbye?
Are we just actors in a movie, playing our role
On to the next scene, same ole same ole
I don’t want to be in this movie
I’m here, let’s take that first step
Look to the future and try to forget
Take a good look at you, a good look at me
There is only one way to heal, to make us better
We need to look to the One who brought us together
‘Cause I’m done fighting these wars
I’m done patching walls and scrubbing floors
