What Happened?

I tried to be everything
She wanted me to be
Although I stayed
In constant misery

I tried to be romantic
And I tried to be tough
But for her, my best
Just wasn't good enough

I would often ask her
Baby, what can I do
How can I prove
My love for you is true

Please let me know
Isn't there anything
She replied with disgust
Yes, take back your ring

She pulled it off her finger
And threw it in my face
Looked at me in anger
And said "you're a disgrace"

I don't understand
What I could have done
To make her unravel
And come undone

I thought I was loving
I know I was loyal
Yet I must have caused her
Some mental turmoil

So I sat on the bed
Watching her pack
She never looked at me
All I saw was her back

She opened suitcases
Cramming clothes inside
Anything that was mine
She threw to the side

She started packing boxes
With everything she could see
Including some pictures
But ripping the ones with me

I watched her go in and out
Loading up her car
Each time she did
Gave my heart another scar

She came in once more
Looking all through the house
I could only sit there
Quiet as a mouse

She took one more look at me
As she walked away
I knew I would never
Convince her to stay

I looked out the window
As she drove off down the street
Tears streamed from my eyes
And fell between my feet

Although many things are still here
This house seems so empty
Everywhere I walked
Filled me with misery

I wish there was a way
To change the past
What did I do
To kill our love so fast

I went back to the bedroom
And shut the door
Then saw a piece of paper
Laying on the floor

I opened it up
It was a love note
Given to her
That another man had wrote

Her promised her luxury
And promised her wealth
And talked about me as if though
I was bad for her health

So here I was
Taking all the blame
And the bottom of this note
Was signed my best friend's name

Stabbed in the back
By two I trusted so long
I guess our bonds
Just weren't that strong

Maybe one day
I can make a new start
And find a woman
I can trust with my heart
