Here we are
What is left of a husband and a wife
With four good kids
Who have a way of getting on with their lives
And i'm not old but i'm gettin' a whole lot older everyday
It's too late to keep from goin' crazy
I've got to get away

chorus:
The reasons that i can't stay
Don't have a thing to do with bein' in love
And i understand that lovin' a man
Shouldn't have to be this rough
And you ain't the only one
Who feels like this world's left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be
Angry all the time

Our boys are strong now
The spittin' image of you when you were young
I hope someday they can see past what you have become
And i remember everytime I said I'd never leave
But what i can't live with is memories of the way you used to be

The reasons that I can't stay
Don't have a thing to do with bein' in love
And I understand that lovin' a man
Shouldn't have to be this rough
And you ain't the only one who feels
Like this world's left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be
Angry all the time

Twenty years
Have came and went since I walked out of your door
I never quite made it back to the one I was before
And God it hurts me
To think of you for the light in your eyes was gone
And sometimes I don't know why
This old world can't leave well enough alone

The reasons that I can't stay
Don't have a thing to do with bein' in love
And I understand that lovin' a man
Shouldn't have to be this rough
And you ain't the only one who feels
Like this world's left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be
Angry all the time
I dont' know why you gotta be
Angry all the time
I don't know why you gotta be
Angry all the time
