I Just Want My Life Back - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

Used to get up at 7

Make breakfast for the children

Get them out to the bus by 8

Sit down with a coffee

Throw the hair in a pony

Make sure the kitchen was clean

And the bed was made

Then make plans for dinner

But the laundry waits

Check in with the husband

At least a couple of times a day

That was before I came home

Before walked in and I found

Him with the neighbor

Who I thought was a friend

Now I am down on my knees

Begging please God please

I just want my life back again

Had a garden and flowers

Where I spent hours and hours

It was a homecoming sight to see

And I would hang in my cozies

While we watch old rented movies

You said

You don't have to dress up

For me

That was before I came home

Before walked in and I found

Him with the neighbor

Who I thought was a friend

Now I am down on my knees

Begging please God please

I just want my life back again

I had everything I dreamed

This just can't be happening

How am I supposed to go on

Where did go so wrong

I just want my life back

I just want my life back

Everything I built

Everything I had

I just want my life back

That can't be too much to ask

Oh no

I just want my life back

How could it change just like that

I just want my life back

I just want my life back

Please God

Please
