Do we have
What it takes
To overcome
Our tendencies
Those petty jealousies
That turn love to hell
Because here come
Mary, Jane, and Nell
Fawning over you
Like a rock star
They’ll only take you so far
Until they’re done with you
Feeding frenzies glutting
From affection given easily
While I’m forced to watch
When you’re not here with me
How can our story be different
From cycles that went on before?
How have we changed, grown to
Deserve walking through that door
When success relies upon fame of
Fans cheering, demanding more?
