Story behind the song

This song came about when I was going through a very bitter divorce.  I'm so thankful that this dark time in my life has passed!

Lyrics

Why Should I
Dana Jordan- 4-8-06

Verse 1
We shared the weekend out in Phoenix AZ
You treated me just like your queen
We held on to each other like we were never gonna
Wake and find the end to all our dreams
You’ve been with another, but now you wonder
If you wanna throw our love away
But I know your secrets and I know you lie
She needs to know the same as I

Chorus
Why should I carry all the burden
Why should I be the only one in pain
Vows that we’ve spoken, Baby you have broken
You hide the truth, but why should I

Verse 2
You say it’s too late, too much has happened
And we should go our separate ways
You claim you can’t trust me, well that’s pretty funny
Coming from the man you are today
You say you still love me, but I don’t believe it
Your love for her should just be a memory   
Cuz I’m still your wife and I can see you with her
And that image takes the life from me.

Bridge
She wouldn’t be there if she knew the truth
Her heart would break in two if she knew you’d been untrue 
But she has the right to know the same way that I do
That the life we shared together is still a part of you

Chorus
Why should I carry all the burden
Why should I be the only one in pain
Vows that we’ve spoken, Baby you have broken
You hide the truth, but why should I
You hide the truth, but why should I
Mmmm, why should I
