| There’s a look on her face, she’s starting to master as she carefully closes
|
| the door
|
| She’s been coming home late, with three packaged answers to questions she tries
|
| To avoid, now she’s talking to fast and I just have to ask, baby what’s all the
|
| clogon dagger for?
|
| Ok here’s the truth, I ran out of gas, and I didn’t call cause I thought you’d
|
| be mad
|
| So I started to walk, it took a hour and a half, to get up that highway and
|
| fill up that
|
| Can, I was hoping that you’d understand
|
| She’s getting good with the lines, so good that you wonder, if the rabbit in
|
| the hat
|
| Tricks were real, she turns water into wine and I’d almost believe her
|
| If her eyes just for once could keep still, now my patients wasting,
|
| cause she’s late once again
|
| Honey tell me what delayed you this time
|
| Ok here’s the truth, its gonna sound kinda strange but I took another way home
|
| from work
|
| For a change, it started out fine, till I got to route nine, when a nile the
|
| wrong way before I
|
| Realized, I’m sorry I ruined all our plans, I was hoping that you’d understand
|
| And I’m watching her secretly talking, its just about all I can bare,
|
| now I know why she’s
|
| Been wearing more make up and caring so much about changing her hair
|
| A telephone vibrates on the table again another damn private call coming
|
| through, now
|
| She’s physically shaking and I just feel like taking that phone and throwing
|
| clear across
|
| The room, she answers hello, a mans voice I don’t know, says its time that you
|
| tell him the
|
| The truth, and 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 you said next, got me stopping dead in my tracks
|
| Ok here’s the truth, its 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
|
| Ok there’s the truth, I got six months to live, only wanted what’s best for you
|
| and the kids, I
|
| Promise I’ll fight with all of my mite, but if I lose this battle,
|
| I lived a good life, so baby just please
|
| Hold my hand and tell me that you understand |
