Sometimes I wish we could switch.
I'll try on your shoes and you wear mine.
I'll get to do whatever I want while you remain at home.
I'll buy whatever I want while you sit broke.
I'll stay out all night long while you worry.
I'll make the messes while you walk behind me cleaning them up.
I'll only think of myself while you consider me and everyone else.
I'll tell you how I feel even if it hurts you while you hold your feelings inside.
I'll do only a few of the things you ask while you pick up my slack.
Sometimes I wish we could just switch.
I'll try on your shoes and you wear mine.
