Time and again your actions are so lame
When we make love it’s all just the same
Your body goes through the motions
But your touch lacks all emotion
When we cuddle up on the sofa
Our bodies touch but are hearts are no longer closer

Your morning kiss goodbye
Is punctuated with a short sigh
Not for the temporary separation
but cause you know I’ll be home from work later on

I play at happy families
But your lies are so transparent to me
Although you are physically here
It’s easy to see I no longer feature in your heart I fear

My choices are plain to me
I clearly don’t have any
My masquerade must be complete
With this other man 20 years of marriage can’t compete

Like a punch drunk boxer
I know I have lost and facing defeat
But I still have my pride
And I’m standing on my own two feet

All your loving actions are such a sham
But I respond to them the best I can
I do my best in spite of the fact
My role has changed
In some strange twist of fate
In your heart I’ve become the other man

Your phone now take a pivotal role
Cause the messages you receive
That I never see
Message by message are eroding my soul

My choices are zero to none
It will be my life that comes undone
All that I know now will all be gone
Never content with just visitation rights
To my life, our daughter and son

All I know is that my life will be lost
My relationships with my kids will the ultimate cost
All though it’s my wife that’s committed adultery
It’s just a matter of fact that dads never get custody
