A close associate had cheated on his wife and left her for a younger women and I was really angry. This song is about that. I wrote it from the betrayed wife’s point of view.
Lyrics
Why didn’t you reject her?
Way before you ever felt the heat
You were our protector
You made us feel as safe as we could be
Now we’re betrayed
Wondering why
We trusted you
To stand up for our family till the end
To treat me as your best and closest friend
Now we’re betrayed
Wondering why
We trusted you
We trusted you that you’d come through
Provide our guiding light
We trusted you that you’d be true
And lead us toward what’s right
Why did you stray?
Why didn’t you stay?
We trusted you
You have your career now
We both agreed that mine should be on hold
Cause children need their mother’s there at home
Then you just played
Then you just strayed
We trusted you
We trusted you that you’d come through
Provide our guiding light
We trusted you that you’d be true
And lead us toward what’s right
Why did you stray?
Why didn’t you stay?
We trusted you
