the door slams in it's frame
day after day now seems the same
what's gone wrong, seems like so long
since they've been living without all the blame

their words are gasoline on each others fire
she don't trust him, thinks he's just a liar
trust has been cast out, there is no doubt
that the anger caused their love to retire

oh, she should treat him like a stranger
look at him fresh just like their very first time
cut him some slack, give him the shirt right off her back
instead of viewing his very existence as a crime

he can't talk to her so he keeps it all hid
maybe things'll work out if she has another kid
throw caution to the wind, the odds have thinned
he simply does what his father did

now she longs for the days of another time
she was daddy's little girl in her prime
she was on a roll, she was in control
those days were just like nursery rhymes

oh, he should treat her like a stranger
the words come easier that way, they're gentler and they're kind
he'll be on his best behavior, he'll even be her personal savior
instead of playing all those games with her mind
