Married To The Music

(album: Perfectionist - 2020)

You sat on our bed
And you said
With a face full of tears
You only love your career

Two years trying to get
In my head
You're no further along
I'm probably writing this song right now

I'm so driven, you get the backseat
If I'm not working, I'm not happy
And you keep getting caught in the crossfire
Of me being impossible or inspired

I love you, believe me
But I don't know if I can do this
I'm just married to the music
Ma-ma-ma-married to the music

And if you leave me
I wouldn't blame you, cause the truth is
I'm just married to the music
Ma-ma-ma-married to the music

Could you say that again
Wasn't listening
Don't take it personally
I heard a new melody
And it goes like

I know it should be more important to be with you
Keep saying that we'll go to Portland, we never do

I'm so sorry, whatever that means
Promise I'll change, but I said that last week
Still you keep getting caught in the crossfire
Of me being impossible or inspired

I love you, believe me
But I don't know if I can do this
I'm just married to the music
Ma-ma-ma-married to the music

And if you leave me
I wouldn't blame you, cause the truth is
I'm just married to the music
Ma-ma-ma-married to the music

You say that we need
Couple's therapy
If there's any hope for a future with me

I guess that I'mma go
Cause I can't be alone
Hurts me to admit, I need you to inspire me
Need you there to admire me

I love you, believe me
But I don't know if I can do this
I'm just married to the music
Ma-ma-ma-married to the music

And if you leave me
I wouldn't blame you, cause the truth is
I'm just married to the music
Ma-ma-ma-married to the music
