Tell Her Why

You decided 
That you were the man of the house 
You decided 
We got to whisper and you got to shout 
You decided
We were ungrateful hungry mouths
So you decided
To look for a better way out 
And when you decided 
To take your life in your own hands 
You decided 
That you could just change all our plans
Because that's 
What's family stands for 
To you 

Now I'm here at your grave
And I'm not your little baby
Anymore 
I stand face to face
Tears to grave
And im telling you 

Now you're gonna tell me why you did it 
Tell me why you think I deserved your worst
Don't you try hiding behind your decisions 
After all that you put me through 
I won't make it easy for you
Won't make it easy for you 
 
You decided 
As I stumbled home from the bar
You decided 
That your own house was too far
You decided 
That you could make me a star
You decided 
That you would just pin down my arms
In case I 
Came to
In case I 
Didn't want you to
In case I scream 
You'd convince me 
It was a dream 
And not a nightmare 

And maybe no one will hear
When I scream 
In that room 
Maybe no one will hear 
When I scream on the stand 
But now here I stand 
Woman to man 
Demanding

Now you're gonna tell me why you did it 
Tell me why you think I deserved your worst
Don't you try hiding behind your decisions 
After all that you put me through 
I won't make it easy for you
Won't make it easy for you 

You decided 
That I was just a conquest 
You decided 
That that's what I offered at best 
You decided 
That I didn't need to know about your life
You decided 
That for me and your wife

And you made all your decisions
Without knowing the other side 
Knowing on the inside 
All I've survived 

So as you stand there 
Tears in your eyes 
Wondering why 
I'm saying goodbye 
Ask where will I go 
Because you don't know 
That I know 
The whole 
Story 

I'll look into your eyes
And do for you 
What I know I wanted too

Now I'm gonna tell you why i did it 
Tell you why I think you deserved the worst
I won't  try hiding behind your decisions 
After all that you put me through 
I won't make it easy for you
Won't make it easy for you
