Doesn't seem to work
Our marriage is long over
Should I now retreat
Should I now retreat
Or hold on for some more time
For our two children
For our two children
Don't know about your cheating
Why should they face this
Why should they face this
They do not deserve this pain
It is my problem
It is my problem
That I shall learn to ignore
I shall not retreat
