As life goes on, I'm finding that I still slept off most of my responsibilties and I realize I can be easily distracted from what's going on around me, so I just wanted to....Um, *cough*, hold on a minute
Uh, wait a second, wait, what did you want again?
Oh right I was singing a song

I'm sorry for the way that I've behaved
Over the last 27 days
I'm sorry for the times you asked and pled
But I never heard a word you said
When you were telling me to take out the trash
And you were warnin' me we were low on cash
I'm sorry that I acted like a slob
I'm sorry I got fired from my job

I'm sorry that the house hasn't been cleaned
The kids fought and I didn't intervene
I'm sorry that I haven't made our bed
I didn't feed the dog and now he's dead

Because I'm on the couch like everyday
Livin' off of Mountain Dew and Frito Lays
I'm sorry for the weight that I've started to gain
I'm sorry that my man-boobs are causing you pain

And yes I know that your folks came over
And I never said hello,
And I missed our toddler's first steps
And your birthday, yes I know

And I suppose the very worst of it all
Was when I missed the birth of our new baby
But I had a good reason babe
See, I was playing Halo 3

I was playing Halo 3
I was playing Halo 3
Hangin' out with Master Chief
Edition Legendary

Yeah, I was playin' Halo 3
See, I was playin' Halo 3
Just hangin' out with Master Chief
While I was playing Halo 3

I'm sorry that I missed the toilet dear
Cause I was tryin’ to play by lookin' in the mirror
I know that it must have seemed so cruel
When I forgot to pick our son up from school
I'm sorry that the car got repossessed
I bought the flat screen instead of making payments
I'm sorry that all I could see was my game
When you came down in your new lingerie

And I know you're threatening to leave me
You've found a man you're going to wed
And I'm sorry y'all will never get married
Cause now he plays Halo with me instead

I know it's really hard on you
And that's it got you feeling blue
It must be just like déjà vu
From when I was playin' Halo 2

I was playin' Halo 2
I was playin' Halo 2
And it almost split up me and you
When I was playin' Halo 2

But, now I'm playin' Halo 3
On my Xbox 360
Just hangin’ out with my online peeps
While were playin' Halo 3

- Good game man, Good game
- Yeah, Good game
- Hey, have you ever played World of Warcraft
- No what's that?
- Duuude....
