Happy Wife, Happy Life 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 wedding 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 getting you a house
If you can’t turn it to a home
I’m tired of getting everything you want
I’m breaking 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 chasing
you play your cards
I grant you patience
You showed your hand
And now I’m done waiting
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
I give you time and spend it
you think that it’s free
I gave you diamonds
with a wedding 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 getting you a house
If you can’t turn it to a home
I’m tired of getting everything you want
I’m breaking free
I can’t give you what you want
But I can give you what you need

No more shopping sprees
or spa trips with your friends
no more swiping my card
watching Hollywood stars
trying to 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 praying 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 giving
not what you take
don’t wanna hurt you
just need you to understand
that picture perfect life they’re posting
is fake on your Instagram
stop buying tickets to their circus
comparing what you’re worth is
I’m breaking these chains
off my feet and chasing purpose

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 wedding 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 getting you a house
If you can’t turn it to a home
I’m tired of getting everything you want
I’m breaking free
I can’t give you what you want
But I can give you what you need
