Macareus or Macar was, in Greek mythology, the son of Aeolus, though sources disagree as to which bearer of this name was his father: it could either be Aeolus the lord of the winds, or Aeolus the king of Tyrrhenia. His mother was, at least in the latter case, Amphithea.
Macareus and his sister Canace fell in love with each other and had a child together. Canace was ordered to kill herself and the baby exposed by Aeolus after he had discovered this, and Macareus took his own life.
Macareus, son of Aeolus, is also given as the father of Amphissa or Issa, who was seduced by Apollo in disguise of a shepherd. Ancient sources do not clarify whether she was the child of Macareus by Canace, or a different child by another unknown consort. In Ovid's account the child of Canace apparently doesn't survive.
my man just told me he's leaving,
he swears to go that i'm creeping
i know it looks like i'm cheating
cause he ain't no fool

he says that i'm never at home
i won't pretend i ain't dead wrong
but it ain't room for 2
so if you think that you gotta leave
i won't shed a tear
cause it ain't a man that means more
than my career
he said, if it's a man to let him know
and that i must admit i'm after a show
the must work at the studio,
cause you're always there
i said it ain't a man you should worry about
i don't believe in man going out
but i am starting to have my doubts
and i know it ain't fair
if you think that you gotta leave
i won't shed a tear
cause it ain't a man that means more
than my career, oh

will probably never be stable,
this is good as it gets
so now you don't have to wonder

it is what it is,
if you think that you gotta leave
i won't shed a tear
cause it ain't a man that means more
than my career, oh

but if you don't, then you know what to do
so make up your mind, cause i made up mine
if you can handle being second in life then we're cool
and if you don't, then you know what to do, uh
so if you think that you gotta leave
i won't shed a tear
cause sorry baby you don't mean more
