We all start out 
With bright intentions 
Choose our partners 
And down the road we go 

But for some comes 
The power struggles 
And for the first time 
You see the one you're with 

The separation 
Seems the easy way out 
Why stick around and cry 

This cold reality trapped me 
Between two doors 
She would not let me back 
And I was too scared to push forward 
But halleluiah baby 
I am healing 
This pain and rage I felt for years is finally leaving 
I only have one prayer 
It's for my children 
Hope they pull through and their little world keeps turning 
This cold reality... 

We all feel it's 
Need to get out 
Sometimes we act out 
In hurtful ways 

So validate her 
And emphasize with her pain 
Sounds so simple 
How come we learned it too late
