"I Do" Becomes "I Don't"

Charley met Pat
They fell in love and said their I dos
It was supposed to last forever 
It was supposed to survive 
even the stormiest weather 
But sometimes "I do" turns into "I don't"
and there's nothing you can do to change it 
Their lives turned into a country song 
Pat suddenly had to "work late" all the time 
Charley didn't see it coming 
but Pat was cheating with the secretary 
Sometimes "I do" becomes I don't 
love you anymore 
Sometimes you can't work things out 
She keeps the house and the dogs 
He's packed up his stuff 
Now he's walking out the door 
for the final time 
But now she lives in her pajamas 
She can't sleep 
but her heart dreams 
of the life they built 
She reminisces
of what used to be 
She's lost so much weight 
because even though there's food 
it's just too hard to eat 
The pain is just too much 
She's alive but barely breathing 
She's always crying, eyes swollen 
Heartbroken and heaving 
She never imagined him leaving 
(at least not like this)
It's just too hard to believe 
Their I dos became his I don't 
There is no happily ever after
