lyrics

The phone rings and I know that it's you
Oh here we go again now what did he do
Well he changed the locks and he canceled the card
And I pray to go he don't know where you are
And then you start up with "He don't mean to do it"
I'll believe it when you can prove it

Alison
You shouldn't have to live like this
Always putting his life first and sticking it out for the kids
Alison you can make it on your own
Cause this is where you live but it's not your home

The cop on the line is ready to dispatch
But he's on his knees and he wants you back
And a new day begins but it ain't nothing new
You got the whole world telling you what you should do
And it never stops and it tears you apart
And you close your eyes and you cross your heart

Alison
You shouldn't have to live like this
Always putting his life first and sticking it out for the kids
Alison you can make it on your own
Cause this is where you live but it's not your home

The first step is gonna be the hardest
And the backlash and gonna feel the farthest
Then there's gonna be nights where you feel so alone
Right now you don't know where you're going
But you better get moving or he'll end up knowing
And god forbid you ever try to make it on your own
God forbid you ever try to make it on your own

Alison
You shouldn't have to live like this
Always putting his life first and sticking it out for the kids
Alison you can make it on your own
Cause this is where you live but it's not your home
You can make it on your own
Alison you can make it on your own
Alison you can make it on your own
Cause this is where you live but it's not your home
