I wanted you to know
That I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain…
Tazz sat in the locker room staring at the floor, he sighed. He knew that his days were numbered. He couldn't stand being away from his family anymore. This was his life, but he wanted to see his wife again. He wanted to see the woman he known since he was a kid, dating since he was a teenager, and married and had a family with. It broke his heart that he couldn't see her because he had to work. Tazz was Smackdown's color commentator, and couldn't just pick up and leave to see his family. He wanted out, but he didn't know if he could. He picked looked in his wallet and saw the picture of his wife.
I keep your photograph
And I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain….
He sighed again and took the picture out of his wallet and kissed it softly. His wife couldn't take much more of his leaving, and he knew it.
Because I'm broken
When I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right
When you're gone away…
Tazz's wife Theresa stood at the kitchen counter with a drink in her hand. She missed Pete, she felt like crying. Tyson, their child they had together, was up in his room playing his usual video games. Everything in the house was quiet. Theresa sighed and took a sip of her drink and looked at the phone, wondering if she should call him or not. They haven't seen much of each other lately, it was close to WrestleMania and Pete had so much he had to do for the company. Actually, they haven't seen much of each other his whole wrestling career. She shook her head and let a single tear roll down her face.
You've gone away
You don't feel me here…
Anymore…
Tazz shook his head, He knew what he had to do. He stood up and picked up his things and walked out the locker room. He passed Michael Cole standing in the hallway. Cole asked him where he was going, Tazz told him he was going home. Cole didn't understand, but let Tazz go. Cole knew he couldn't stop Tazz from doing what he needed to do. Tazz left the building and got on the first plane back to Long Island.
The worst is over now
And we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high and steal my pain…
Theresa was sleeping when Pete came home. She was sleeping on the couch, dreaming of happier times. Pete walked over to her and knelt down and touched her face.
There's so much left to learn
And no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain…
Theresa woke up with a start to see Pete above her. He whispered he loved her. Theresa teared up and didn't ask why he was home, but knew he was home… with her.
Cuz I'm broken
When I'm open
And I don't feel like
I am strong enough…
Pete told her how sorry he was for all the years he has left her alone. He told her how much he loved her and how he felt he failed her as a husband. Theresa put a finger over his lips to quiet him, she kissed him softly.
Cuz I'm broken
When I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right
When you're gone away…
They wandered up to their bedroom and made love to each other like they hadn't in years. They held each other in each other's arms, and rekindled they love they lost so many years ago. Pete wanted to make things right for her, and his family.
Cuz I'm broken
When I'm open
And I don't feel like
I am strong enough
Cuz I'm broken
When I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right
When you're gone away…
The very next day, Tazz called Vince McMahon and told him he wouldn't be in anymore. He wasn't going to be Tazz for the fans anymore; Tazz was now going to be Pete Senerchia for his wife and family.
You've gone away…
You don't feel me here..
Anymore…
