The Halftime Show Lyrics

Relationship hit breaking point, we had to take a break

Look back wondering was it all just a big mistake

She gathered all her belongings and moved up out the house

I had to gather my thoughts, move on without a spouse

She took the kids, left me alone up in an empty crib

Lost and confused not knowing all the wrong that I did

Like how we get to this, I thought we were better than this

Guess I was kinda distracted, something I must've missed

All work left no time for play at the end of the day

I had to try to find balance is what she'd always say

She knew the life I was in, I was a journey man

Shacked up in hotels far away working on distant land

It broke my heart to come home and everybody gone

She send me messages but why she don't answer the phone

I close my eyes to try to figure out what I'm gone do

Pick up the pieces, patch it up and make it like new

It wasn't you, it was me, that what she told me

She was battling demons and plus she miss the old me

I guess we both lost focus, no need to point the finger

We skip the custody battle, didn't put me through the wringer

Kept the court out the picture, we work cordially

And picked the kids up on the weekend like normally

That shit sucks though, we was like the Huxtables

Put our shit out on the table and aired out our troubles

But then something was missing and we became distant

Hard to get each others attention, it used to be instant

We shared a vision but images can get distorted

When we bobble heads all in our phone and blindly support it

And now we act like we forget, we never even listened

Got us arguing and breaking all the dishes in the kitchen

Miss communication, there's gotta be an explanation

Can't go on if this is how we handle every situation

I put my game face on so I can stand strong

I gotta make some changes if I don't want this shit to prolong

It's like things was all good just a week ago

What the hell am I saying, that was almost two years ago

The honeymoon phase, yea that was the best stage

Nothing like our last days, that felt like the dark age

We showed our ass out in public, we was the main attraction

Yea, we was over the top, we was just over reacting

We try to change and work together, be on same team

Like ain't no place for us to go but up while we fighting the stream

There's no such thing as immaculate relationships

It's hard to keep a ship afloat when it's constantly taking hits

That's why we keep patch kits, especially if you have kids

Parents always forget they growing up in this madness

And that's the sadness we learn how to live with

Hold it all deep inside like it's nobody's business
