He's playing softly so

His wife won’t hear,

she’s upstairs, near him

But she’s never near him anymore..

His car’s much closer, out in the garage,

While he just sits here,

strumming his guitar,

Stuck in love that’s a mirage,

Surrounded by so many doors….

He should slip quietly away tonight,

Just leave it all behind, avoid a fight,

Max out his credit cards in someplace new,

There’s really little else that he can do…..

Chorus-

Cause they both have finally reached

that point of no return,

doesn’t matter if he stays or goes,

His love’s been spurned,

they say misery deserves company

but that’s not for him…

stuck in a dead end marriage

That he'll die lonely in.......

He's a romanticist,

he needs much more then this,

it’s been months since they last kissed,

or shared what’s intimate,

might as well become a priest,

He's living like one now,

Married to what’s celibate,

Just need to take the Vows,

Chorus-

Cause they both have finally reached

that point of no return,

doesn’t matter if he stays or goes,

His love’s been spurned,

they say misery deserves company

but that’s not for him

stuck in a dead end marriage

That he'll dir lonely in.......

He's packing his guitar,

it’s quietly encased,

His oldest, dearest friend’s

going off with him someplace,

it always comes into

His arms most willingly,

it’s not strung out and fretting

Each time it sees his face….

It helped him find the truth,

The answers very clear,

Just pack a bag next time

she rants and disappear….

Chorus-

Cause they both have reached

that point of no return,

doesn’t matter if Ihe stays or goes,

His love’s been spurned,

Folks say misery deserves company

but that’s not for…him

stuck in a dead end marriage

That he'll die lonely in....

Stuck in a dead end marriage

That she'll die….Lonely………….in

Their situation is no-win
