Torn between two flags

Torn between two flags

I was born Australian the land of the young and free
I had a hard childhood there is no escaping that
From being locked away like an animal to seeing all the crazy shit
When I grew into a man I seen this woman, absolute beauty
I fell in love with a Canadian the other half that was me
My soulmate, a connection like never before
I went over there got married, our two flags merged
Stars and a leaf all came together as one, so I believed
Short time later ( 4 months ) you took another man tore my world in two
Left me with no home, no children, no way home because you said it was over
There is no other way to put it, you used me plain and simple
I stayed committed to you even after your infidelity
I gave my heart, mind, soul, thoughts, money
You started to tell lies, wow your lies are fully loaded
I even lied to the children to keep your story's intact
They story's you told to put yourself into a good light, OMFG
Even with me by your side through all the shit you still picked him
What a fucking fool I am to have even considered your first lie

I miss driving on the other side of the road, walking to Walmart
Falling into the snow, falling up to my waist, haha funny times
Walking home blind drunk as you wanted me to hang with the best man
Going on a walk on Halloween, the eldest boy dressed as an old lady
Playing chases with you and the children, good times
Remember my 37th birthday, the food fight that was a blast
So many good memories of us all, you went and fucked that in the arse
I remember that young boy who got hit by a train that was so sad
Now all I'm left with is some amazing memories and some not so
I can't believe it's been ten years this year since I first came over
You really put me in a tail spin, my world went up the shit after you
What was so special about him anyway, you told me that I was amazing
Not that amazing obviously, now he left you in the shit, I'm sorry
I told you that I'd forgiven you, you said you loved me always will
Some of the things you said were nasty to me or about me
All I might add to make it sound like I was the one sleeping around
You lied so much I think you believed it your self
You convinced everyone, I had no time for an affair
Looking after three children while you were out with your friends
Cooking, cleaning, drying, folding, shovelling the driveway in winter
I paid for everything when you lost your job still I was not good enough
Anyone who knew me truly knew it was not me but them the breaks
