Why didn't you leave?
I'm staying for the kids.
I want us to stay for the kids.

Why didn't you leave?

Why didn't you leave?
It shouldn't be too easy.
Nobody said it was easy.

Why didn't you leave?
He is my life.
And I'm his holy wedded wife.

Why didn't you leave?
I have nowhere to go.
I don't even know where to go.
