Happy Wife, Happy Life

by Dax

Lyrics
I gave you flowers, but you never planted seeds
I give you time and spend it, you think that it's free
I gave you diamonds with a weddin' and a ring
You fell in love with them and never really married me

Your rainbow never leads to a pot of gold
No point of gettin' you a house if you can't turn it to a home
I'm tired of gettin' everythin' you want, I'm breakin' free
I can't give you what you want, but I can give you what you need

Unrealistic expectations is what you have, and what I'm done chasin'
You play your cards, I grant you patience
You showed your hand, and now I'm done waitin'
You always cry when I don't buy
Your fireworks are like the Fourth of July
I gave you wings, and now you fly
And claim I changed and I'm not your type

Fool me once if you do it again
I'll pay the price with common sense
Your thin ice pushed me right to the edge
Girl, this ain't love if there ain't no respect

I gave you flowers, but you never planted seeds (but you never planted seeds)
I give you time and spend it, you think that it's free (you think that it's free)
I gave you diamonds with a weddin' and a ring (and a ring)
You fell in love with them and never really married me (really married me)

Your rainbow never leads to a pot of gold (pot of gold)
No point of gettin' you a house if you can't turn it to a home (turn it to a home)
I'm tired of gettin' everythin' you want, I'm breakin' free (I'm breakin' free)
I can't give you what you want, but I can give you what you need

No more shoppin' sprees or spa trips with your friends
No more swipin' my card, watchin' Hollywood stars
Tryna keep up with all of the trends
No more male friends, I can't stand those guys
Who fake and try to pretend like they wouldn't touch on ya
If given the chance to take my place and get you out your pants

I'm prayin' for us to make it through rainy days
I made a vow, my commitment will never change
A happy life is a choice that you gotta make
'Cause happiness comes from givin', not what you take

Don't wanna hurt you, just need you to understand
That picture-perfect life they're postin' is fake on your Instagram
Stop buyin' tickets to their circus, comparin' what your worth is
I'm breakin' these chains off my feet and chasin' purpose

I gave you flowers, but you never planted seeds (but you never planted seeds)
I give you time and spend it, you think that it's free (you think that it's free)
I gave you diamonds with a weddin' and a ring (and a ring)
You fell in love with them and never really married me (really married me)

Your rainbow never leads to a pot of gold (pot of gold)
No point of gettin' you a house if you can't turn it to a home (turn it to a home)
I'm tired of gettin' everything you want, I'm breakin' free (I'm breakin' free)
I can't give you what you want, but I can give you what you need
