soldier through this

you work to hard

so when you come home

you tell me you are tired

and you don't want to talk about it

you envy my drive

and how i am motivated

you go down to the park

check out the carnival for a while

and try to forget all about it

i'm out of control

and you don't appreciate it

believe it

i need it

i feel intoxicated

i love it

i want it

don't make me leave you for it

you say i have changed

self-centered and vain

and you don't respect me for it

the world is the same

so i play the game

and you've grown to hate me for it

so weary and raged

there's no-one to blame

but still you resent me for it

i call all the shots

i hold all the cards

and you feel emasculated

believe it

i need this

i feel intoxicated

i love it

i want it

don't make me leave you for it

how do we reconcile this

i'm able to soldier through this
