Intro:
Verse 1
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
It's too late to keep from going crazy
I've got to get away
Chorus
The reasons I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being
in love
I understand that loving 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
Verse 2
Our boys are strong now, the spitting image of you when
you were young
I hope someday they can see past what you have become
And I remember every time I said I'd never leave
But what I can't live with is memories of the way you used
to be
Chorus
The reasons I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being
in love
I understand that loving 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
Verse 3
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
Chorus
The reasons I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being
in love
I understand that loving 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 don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
