I just Lost my job I've been working for the past three years and my wife and I are having some problems she has not been showing me any attention it's just like my life is falling apart again but I work hard to keep it together

So Hard

© Ian Gillum
why is life such a heartache what did I do to deserve it
sometimes it makes me wonder if living is even worth it

cause every-time I get somewhere I go right back to the beginning
seems no matter how hard I try there's never no place for winning

but I pick up the broken pieces every-time they shatter
and then I go on with my life like there is nothing a matter

I just wished things could go good for once I miss the life I had
the one were I was once a loved husband but now all I am is sad

I try hard to be faithful despite all the temptation
because I'm a real man with a family that I am raisin

I have a beautiful daughter and another child coming soon
but I still don't know the sex or the color of the balloon

but it doesn't really matter boy or girl which ever
I just hope through all this I can keep my family together

even though I have problems I understand my quality of life
and that's being there for my family and loving my wife
