Bad Husband Lyrics – Eminem

This is the first track Eminem has written as an apology to Kim for the pain he’s caused her throughout his personal and public life, even though he already acknowledged Kim’s positive impact on him on “Stronger Than I Was.”| Song Name : | Bad Husband |

We never saw it from each other’s sidesOr eye to eyeJust eye for eye, lie for lie, fight or flightSo much baggage, need a luggage rack
But we carry on with our public spats and our feudsOh, back in the newsLove taps when I diss youLike it was fun
Actually used to runBack to the boothJump back in the studioGive you a tongueLashing then youLaughed at a stomach tat with the tomb
Stoning was funny, back in our youthBut then it wasn’t after we knewThat we were done and actually through (and actually through)But if there’s one fraction of truthIf it could be spun back I would do so many things different
‘Cause it was such a dumbass excuseYou hit me onceAnd 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
How come, you can be a lord and a loserHow come, how come, you can be a liar and a good father?Good dad, but a bad husbandWhy are you a good father?A great dad, but a bad husband
Who woulda beat our love with a writer’s blockJust a line that’s hot, that I forgotWe laughed a little, cried a lotI’ll never forget when you came home and you held HailieDay before you went to jail and daily
How we would wait for that mail ladyOr by the phone, for mom to callAnd I watch you pull yourself upAnd we decided on giving it one more try despite it allYou’re my lightning rodWhen my sky gets darkI’m your shiny rocks
In that tiny box
When we tied the knot
When we broke the knotEvery line we crossedWe were supposed to notEvery time we foughtBeing souls that gotThrown too farWords 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 saidLetters written that we could’ve read
Which maybe would’ve lead to some good insteadAnd had this put to bedBut I’d be lying still if I said I wasn’t sitting here asking myself
How come you can be a lord and a loserHow come, how come, you can be a liar and a good father?A good dad, but a bad husbandWhy are you a good father?A great dad, but a bad husband
Forever be a hero in my eyesIn my eyesBut there’s always another side to a good fatherA great dad, but a bad husband
We brought out the worst in each otherSomeone had to make the sparring end‘Cause I loved you but I hated that meAnd I don’t wanna see that side againBut I’m sorry Kim
More than you could ever comprehendLeaving you was fucking harder thanSawing off a fucking body limbOnce upon a time where all we had
Maybe that was what drew us to each otherIt was true love shit, we never knew was possibleWe might have loved each other too muchAnd maybe that’s what made us do what we did to each otherAll the screw-ups
‘Cause you always thought that you was more in love with meAnd I was thinking I was more in love than you wasFor all the times that we thought it worked‘Til we saw how wrong we wereWhen the dust settles nowAnd all the dirt
If I touch the rawest nerveAll I want is for us not to hurt
And it’s been an exhaustive search to find the wordsBut I just heard MockingbirdAnd got the urge to jot me some verses and thoughtsThe purpose was not to stir up open wounds
I’ve caused a fewAnd so have youOr argue who’s fault it wasPartly yours, partly mine
But really no onesThis is so toughI’m getting choked upOh fuck it, we both suckWe broke up, got back togetherWe both thought we had foreverNot bad people, just bad together
We were so nutsBackstab each otherAnother blow struckBut there’s no ducking this blow‘Cause it’s over
And it’s closureI’m not so sure how to close thisI just don’t know how some people can be soGood at one thing and so fucked at another, shitIt’s no wonder
How come you can be a lord and a loserHow come, how come, you can be a liar and a good father?A good dad, but a bad husbandWhy are you a good father?A great dad, but a bad husband(Dad) (You said)
Forever be a hero in my eyesI replyBut there’s always another side to a good fatherA great dad, but a bad husband
