I cry every night for my family But they don't know what I'm crying for The tears holds the darkness that surrounds me Each night when I walk out the door The night shift they think helps support them Is nothing but a cowardly lie 'Cause just like a lot of other weak men I've got a girl on the side She said I will never release you I will never let you go Your wife doesn't have to be blue Don't cross me and she'll never know My kids think of me as a hero My wife sees a man proud and strong But I know I'm less than a zero I've been living this secret life so long And I've made the bed that I lie in I caused every tear that I've cried I'm at the mercy of my sin And the threats of the girl on the side She said I will never release you I will never let you go Your wife doesn't have to be blue Don't cross me and she'll never know She said I will never release you I will never let you go I will never release you If you try to run the whole world will know If you try to run the whole world will know
