You can't say we haven't tried
But the knot that we both tied
Has become a little frayed
It's unraveled through the years
It's weathered many tears
But she's holding it in place
I don't say much these days
I just stay up way to late
Watching the TV
And she slips away upstairs
But leaves the bedroom door ajar
So she can fall asleep with me
I loose myself sometimes
When I open up the wine
We keep around for company
I don't want to close my eyes
Cause I know I'll lose the night
And wake up to misery.
And I guess that I'd admit
That lately around here
She's the only one that gives.
Yeah I know that compromise
Is just a part of life
But it ain't no way to live
I'm up late again tonight
Staring at the TV light
As it dances on the wall
When she hears the sounds below
She don't feel so alone
That's why she leaves the door ajar
And I don't want to close my eyes
Cause I know I'll loose the night
Then I'll have a choice to make
Cause it unraveled again
But if I'll just hold up my end
We can put it back in place
Yeah it's unraveled again
And if I'll just hold up my end
We can put it back in place
