There's a look on her face
|
She's starting to master
|
And she carefully closes the door
|
She's been coming home late
|
With pre-packaged answers
|
To questions she tries to avoid
|
|
Now she's talking too fast
|
And I just have to ask
|
Baby what's all the cloak and dagger for
|
|
Okay here's the truth
|
I ran out of gas
|
& I didn't call cause I thought you'd be mad
|
So I started to walk
|
Took an hour and a half
|
To get off that highway and fill up that can
|
I was hoping that you'd understand
|
|
She's getting good with the lies
|
So good that you wondered
|
If the rabbit in the hat tricks for real
|
She turns water into wine
|
And I'd almost believed her
|
If her eyes just for once could keep still
|
|
Now my patience wasting
|
Cause she's late once again
|
Honey tell me what delayed you this time
|
|
Okay here's the truth
|
It's gonna sound kind of strange
|
But I took a new way home from work for a change
|
It started out fine
|
Til I got to Route 9
|
When an hour away before I realized
|
I'm sorry I ruined all our plans
|
I was hoping that you'd understand
|
|
And there watching her secretly talking
|
It is just about all I can bear
|
Now I know why she's been wearing
|
Make-up and caring
|
So much about changing her hair
|
|
The telephone vibrates on the table again
|
Another damn private call coming through
|
And now she's visibly shaking
|
And I just feel like taking that phone
|
Throwing it clear across the room
|
|
She answers a˘ć©«helloa˘ć?
|
A mans voice I don't know
|
Says a˘ć©«it's time that you tell him the trutha˘ć?
|
Now I can't take this no more
|
Honey I'm out the door
|
No, I won't relax
|
I got my suitcase all packed
|
What she said next stopped me dead in my trust
|
|
Okay here's the truth
|
It's not what you think
|
The man that you heard is head of oncology
|
I'm sorry I lied
|
To you all of those times
|
I didn't know how to tell you
|
I might not survive
|
Okay there's the truth
|
I've got six months to live
|
I wanted what's best for you and the kids
|
I promise I'll fight
|
With all of my might
|
But if I lose this battle
|
I lived a good life
|
So baby just please hold my hand
|
And tell me that you understand
|
|
