When I'm Your Wife by Shaina Taub (Ft. Rebecca Naomi Jones)
Performed by
Shaina TaubRebecca Naomi JonesWhen I’m Your Wife Lyrics
[ROSALIND, as GANYMEDE, as ROSALIND]
I’ll start crying at random while we’re having fun
And die laughing when you’re trying to sleep
I’ll be jealous of anything private of yours
But I’ll bury my own secrets deep
I’ll frequently sabotage genuine moments
With make-believe strife
I’ll fluctuate both for the worse and the better
When I’m your wife
I won’t be the unblemished ideal
You’ve been fooling yourself to believe that I am
I’ll berate you for doubting my powеr
Then seek reassurance that I’m not a sham
My thirst for control and my pеnchant for drama
Will likely run rife
I’ll publish new versions of me every hour
When I’m your wife
The wiser the woman, the wilder she is
So before it’s too late, you should know
The closer you hold me, the farther I’ll go
I will harbor resentments I have towards my dad
And unfairly project them on you
I’ll wonder if you’re gonna leave me like he did
No matter how often you say it’s not true
I’ll blame you for wounds in my heart
That were caused by another man’s knife
It might take me decades to sort through this baggage
When I’m your wife
I can’t promise I’ll be the same person
Five or fifty years from now
So I suggest you decide your response
Before taking your vow
Despite all of this
Could you still love me
For what’s left of my life
When I’m your wife?
When I’m your wife?
