THE COWARD'S WAY OUT_Rock&Roll_Male#blues#bluesrock#dance#rock&roll

[Intro — hard electric guitar riff, heavy drums] Hey, brother... Look me in the eyes. I'm not covering for you this time. I know what you're doing. [Verse 1] You're cheating on your wife 'cause you're too afraid to repair everything that's falling apart, everything you don't wanna face. Instead of sitting down with her, instead of fighting for what you built, you found yourself an exit door and called it freedom when you walked through it. And that woman you're running to isn't better than your wife, my friend. She's just an illusion from a distance, a mystery you haven't had to live with yet. [Pre-Chorus] But take her home... Wash her dishes. Pay her bills. Live her routine. Let's see how long the magic lasts. [Chorus] It's the coward's way out! When love gets hard, you run away. You want the safety of your home and the thrill of being single again. You want a faithful wife and a lover who makes you feel free. You want absolutely everything... And you're tearing everything apart. [Verse 2] It's emotional junk food when you're too damn lazy to cook. You'd rather taste what's forbidden than sit down and take a second look. Every morning you lie to her face, then tell yourself you're a good man. You hide behind your miserable guilt and go out and do it all again. You're a teenager trapped inside an adult man's skin. You want all the benefits of love without paying the price of commitment. [Chorus] It's the coward's way out! When reality gets heavy, you run. You want a home that never leaves you and the freedom to answer to no one. You want every door left open, every pleasure, every thrill. You want everything you want... And you're gonna lose it all. [Bridge — band drops down] And listen to me, brother... You can change the bed. You can change the woman. You can change the town. But there's one thing you can't change: Yourself. Your demons pack their bags and travel with you. And if you need another woman's body to convince yourself you're still alive... Brother, the problem isn't your marriage. The problem is inside you. [Final Chorus — full band] It's the coward's way out! Anybody can chase something new. Any charming coward with enough free time can fill a bed with someone new. But the real challenge... isn't conquering a thousand women. It's looking at the same woman every morning and deciding she's still worth the fight. Choose her when it's easy. Choose her when it's hard. Choose her when nobody's watching. [Outro — guitar] That's real freedom, brother. **Not running. Choosing.**
