Bad Husband
Eminem Song Lyrics

[Eminem]

We never saw from each other's sides

Or eye to eye

Just eye for eye, lie for lie, fight or flight

So much baggage, need a luggage rack

But we carry on with our public spats and our feuds

Oh, back in the news

Love taps when I diss you

Like it was fun

Actually used to run

Back to the booth

Jump back in the studio

Give you a tongue

Lasher than you

Laughed at a stomach tat with the tomb

Stoning was fun, back in our youth

But then it wasn't after we knew

That we were done and actually through (and actually through)

But if there's one fraction of truth

If it could be spun back I would do so many things different

'cause it was such a dumbass excuse

You hit me once

And that I would use to continue the pattern of abuse

Why did I punch back?

Girls your dad is a scumbag

I'm confused because.

[X ambassadors]

How come you can be a low illusion

How come, how come, you can be a liar and a good father?

A good dad, but a bad husband

Why are you a good father?

A great dad, but a bad husband.

[Eminem]

You wouldn't beat our love with a writer's block

Just a line that's hot, that I forgot

We laughed a little, cried a lot

I'll never forget when you came home and you held hailie

Day before you went to jail and daily

How we would wait for that mail lady

Or by the phone, for mom to call

And I watch you pull yourself up

And we decided on giving it one more try despite it all

You're my lightning rod

When my sky gets dark

I'm your shiny rocks

In that tiny box

When we tied the knot

When we broke the knot

Every line we crossed

We were supposed to not

Every time we fought

Being souls they got

Thrown too far

Words that we said that we didn't mean

The words that we meant that we didn't say

The ones that we thought that should've said

Letters written that we could've read

Which maybe would've lead to some good instead

And had this put to bed

But I'd be lying still if I said I wasn't asking myself.

[X ambassadors, eminem]

How come you can be a low illusion

How come, how come, you can be a liar and a good father?

A good dad, but a bad husband

Why are you a good father?

A great dad, but a bad husband

(Dad) (you said)

Forever be a hero in my eyes

I reply

But there's always another side to a good father

A great dad, but a bad husband.

[Eminem]

We brought out the worst in each other

Someone had to make the sparring end

Cause I loved you but I hated that me

And I don't wanna see that side again

But I'm sorry kim

More than you could ever comprehend

Leaving you was fucking harder than

Sawing off a fucking body limb

Once upon a time where all we had

Maybe that was what drew us to each other

It was true love shit that we never knew was possible

We might have loved each other too much

And maybe that's what made us do what we did to each other

All the screw-ups

Cause you always thought that you was more in love with me

And I was thinking I was more in love than you was

For all the times that we thought it was

Till we saw how wrong we were

When the dust settles now

And all the dirt

And if I touch the rawest nerve

All I want is for us not to hurt

And it's been an exhaustive search to find the words

But I just heard mockingbird

And got the urge to jot me some verses and thoughts

The purpose was not to stur up open wounds

I've got a few

And so have you

Or argue who's fault it was

Partly yours, partly mine

But really no ones

This is so tough

I'm getting choked up

Oh fuck it, we both suck

We broke up, got back together

We both thought we had forever

Not bad people, just bad together

We was so nuts

Backstab each other

Another blow struck

But there's no darking this blow

Cause it's over

And it's closure

But, I'm not so sure how to close this

I just don't know how some people could be so good at one thing and so fucked at another

It's no wonder.

How come you can be a low illusion

How come, how come, you can be a liar and a good father?

A good dad, but a bad husband

Why are you a good father?

A great dad, but a bad husband

(Dad) (you said)

Forever be a hero in my eyes

I reply

But there's always another side to a good father

A great dad, but a bad husband.
