Fruit Cake

[Verse 1]
So beautiful, funny, and slightly apart
A hint of the bonkers was there from the start
I lived my life from day to day
With her I thought maybe things could change
She took her time and learned to live with the
With the fullest commitment I could give

[Chorus]
My engine was revving, as I let off the brakes
And I gave my heart to my fruit cake

[Verse 2]
The buns in the oven arrived right on cue
A boy for us first then another one too
We loved them madly with no clue
How life might change and what to do
Losing sleep made things seem much worse
Our love was locked into reverse
The bitterness and anger were as hard to take
As the flying fists of my little fruit cake

[Verse 3]
I covered my bruises when I had been bashed
I'd say things were fine when inside I was trashed
We went round in circles getting nowhere
Our arguments drifting up the stairs
I was so tired of being tossed in the wake
Of the debris surrounding my fruit cake

[Verse 4]
Admit there's a problem, that's some kind of start
Or let it continue to pull me apart
A long time has passed now, we're still hanging in
You ask how I'm doing, well I'll grip and grin
Not in denial but concealed

[Verse 5]
Our families together and wounds will heal
It turns out to be the best deal I could make
For our kids, me and my little fruit cake
For our kids, me and my little fruit cake
For our kids, me and my little fruit cake
So look back in anger or look back and learn?
The jury's still out and court is adjourned
