The Girl On the Side

I cry every night for my family
But they don't know what I'm crying for
The tears holds the darkness that surrounds me
Each night when I walk out the door
The night shift they think helps support them
Is nothing but a cowardly lie
'Cause just like a lot of other weak men
I've got a girl on the side

She said I will never release you
I will never let you go
Your wife doesn't have to be blue
Don't cross me and she'll never know

My kids thick of me as a hero
My wife sees a man proud and strong
But I know I'm less than a zero
I've been living this secret life so long
And I made the bed that I lie in
I caused every tear that I've cried
I'm at the mercy of my sin
And the threats of the girl on the side

She said I will never release you
I will never let you go
She said I will never release you
If you try to run the whole world will know
