It sure gets quiet
When the kids go to bed
We sit here inthe silence
Putting off what must be said
I read a book you watch T.V.
As our love dies quietly
I'm so sad I don't know what I've just read
Somebody should leave
But which one should it be
You need the kids
And they need me
Somebody should leave
But we hate to give in
We keep hopin' somehow
We might need each other again
You say goodnight
And turn to face the wall
We lie here in the darkness
And the tears start to fall
If it was only you and me
Goodbye might come more easily
But what about
Those babies down the hall
(2x)
Somebody should leave
But we hate to give in
So let's keep hopin' we might need each other again
