I've got a toothache and no insurance
Yeah, I've got some unappreciative kids
And I've got a husband who just seems to get worse each month
And I'm just waiting for something to give

I guess I don't have much to say for myself
I did my best with the options given to me
And for what it's worth, there were times in my life
When I felt strong, or when they seemed weak

Like the time we watched the sun come up sitting on a park bench
It took all night but you brought me up to speed
Wrapped in blankets, going through our regrets
Exchanging our families' war stories

And I felt humbled and warm, still lost in the night before
That's when you put it all to rest, you said
"We did our best, it's not our fault if these bastards want more"
And I know we were just kids, but I still remember what you said
I try to hold that sentiment in my heart
But these days I can't imagine waking up and it not being hard
