The Rip Before The Tear

It makes me grumpy when I get no love, it repulses you when I'm this way,
It makes me jealous when I get no love, why am I jealous you'd say,
It is a vicious cycle, one that's constantly being repeated,
Another day without any love, it feels like I'm being cheated.

My confidence shoots down through the floor, and end up being quiet,
You say that I can talk to you, but when I'm offered I deny it,
I need help to break my current thoughts, I need you to put my mind at ease,
Just give me one night of a little love, you can do then as you please.

I don't know if it's a man thing, or it's because I work away,
I think I am only here for my child, that's how I felt the other day,
You have learned to cope without me, even when I am here,
You wonder why I drink so much, and why I turn to beer.

There's a rip in our relationship, I know that it is there,
We'd better fix it while it's small, before it becomes a tear,
For if it's left to fester, if you do not use some glue,
The tear will continue down the line, and eventually rip in two.
