[Verse 1]
I don't have to lay beside him
Feelin' so alone
But my baby is crying for his daddy
And askin' when he's comin' home

[Verse 2]
I don't have to feel neglected
And I'm not damaged goods anymore
But my baby has been devastated
Ever since he walked out that door

[Chorus]
I'm trading one heartbreak for another
One kind of pain for a different kind of pain
And I wonder
If this is gonna hurt even more
I'm finally alive but it's killin' who I'm livin' for

[Verse 3]
I don't have to hear his complainin'
And I don't have to curse his name
But my darling is missing his daddy
And he'll always have me to blame

[Chorus]
I'm trading one heartbreak for another
One kind of pain for a different kind of pain
And I wonder
If this is gonna hurt even more
I'm finally alive but it's killin' who I'm livin' for
I'm trading one heartbreak for another
One kind of pain for a different kind of pain
And I wonder
If this is gonna hurt even more
I'm finally alive but it's killin' who I'm livin' for
