Divorce and Suicide
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
It hurts so much, there’s so much pain
That I think I might go insane
Why must it always be this way?
Until we get to judgment day
I know I’ll die, I hope its soon
Because I’m such a big buffoon
A clown without the make-up on
And everything I do is wrong
Why do I deserve to live?
I can’t teach my wife to forgive
