ive had enough of everything
ill quietly leave by the back door
ive put the cat out, fed the dog
your clothes are ironed all neatly
hanging over the back of the dining chair
i had to wait til you were asleep
i dont have the strength to confront
i need some space
i need some time
and you would've talked me out of both
this doesnt mean my feelings have changed
just my ability to deal
i know that what im doing
is something you wont like
but i cant think of that now
when my mind is slowly dying
so dont forget the mailman comes around 8
the milkman don't come at all
the dog's allergic to almost everything
and the cat's losing its fur
i'll be back when i can
though i cant say when that'll be
just live your life and i'll fit back in
if there's still a place for me.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

    That's an emotional piece... I can relate. :)
