You can't know how it feels
When everything worthwhile is gone without a fight
And I pretend it's no big deal
Let her walk out, didn't stop her, didn't try

And I'm left to face what's real
But all the damage done caught up with me tonight
Caught up with me tonight

And I can't go home
'cause this house is not my home without my wife
And I hope she knows
I never meant for us to see this side of life
Or take her on this ride
But the devil he's been working overtime

I stare across the room
There sits the devil with a halfway broken seal
And he's been here all afternoon
Patiently watching me spinning my wheels

And I can't go home
'cause this house is not my home without my wife
And I hope she knows
I never meant for us to see this side of life
Or take her on this ride
But the devil he's been working overtime

There's no reason now to hide
'cause no one ever gets inside
I can't do this on my own
But he stands between me and the telephone
Me and the telephone

And I can't go home
'cause this house is not my home without my wife
And I hope she knows
I never meant for us to see this side of life
Or take her on this ride
But the devil's he's been working overtime
Yeah, the devil he's been working overtime
