The perfect wife

You quickly got married and had a kid

Even before I realised I had nothing but this sting

What hurts the most is the memory of that beautiful night

back home late from the airport after a long flight

I wonder if you wake up at night

If guilt is even for a moment a feeling you have to fight

Are you proud of your destructive appetite?

You now live your perfect life

Redeeming yourself as the perfect wife

I wonder if you ever wake up at night

If guilt was even for a moment a feeling you had to fight

Are you proud in your destructive appetite?

You now live your perfect life

A break for your mind as you play the perfect wife

It was cold and we fell asleep face to face

that's the last time I remember your warm embrace

In anger and hate you always perpetuate

I now lay back in salt, aware of each and every fault

This morning I walked down the riverside

Where we used to walk to escape

I waited for you with a bittersweet smile

you destroyed what we called home and everything inside

You know your outer beauty will not last

blinding others from your hidden past

I choose to trust your eyes when you cried for the pain you gave

more than your eyes' indifference when proud of your own gain

You plied me with promises so many times

Carefully wiping away all my tears

They were too much even for you to bear

So you lied till the day you disappeared

when you saw this time I left for real

I came to you without my selfish side of things

Believing in you, unaware of being unaware

I didn't dare to imagine what you dared

what have you done with your sordid affair

I wonder if you wake up at night

If guilt is even for a moment a feeling you have to fight

Are you proud of your destructive appetite?

You now live your perfect life

Redeeming yourself as the perfect wife

I wonder if you ever wake up at night

If guilt was even for a moment a feeling you had to fight

Are you proud in your destructive appetite?

You now live your perfect life

A break for your mind as you play the perfect wife
