Funny song this might be... I was at work, on break, while this young lady was talking to me about how her boyfriend just up and left her. It was pretty well obvious that she played some head games and telling him she was going to leave him ect... Anyhow while telling me this she tried to reason it to me that the only reason she did this was to test him to see if he actually loved her or not. *confused* think that was it. I dunno I never understood those kind of things... Anyhow I kind of felt sorry for this lady but at the same time I was unmoved because she did it herself. thus in my own views if the guy left her, she acted like she didn't want him back and so... he moved on and found himself another woman... short, simple, and obviously what is suppost to happen... only problem was she only did this to see how long this fellow would chase after her. So to make the long story short... I just kind of looked at this one and said well... if you wanted him back you should have just took him back because if it was me I probably would have just moved on myself... *shrug* I mean come on... that is just short of a lie in itself... I find it a shame that two people would lose eachother because someone felt they had to test the water. pretty messed up if you ask me... but over all it made for a great song writting session. *grin and wink*
A LIE WITH NO TRUTH TO HIDE
One night the light seem to bend
Who can tell when the stories mend
Never know when a true goodbye happens
A question of caring becomes the end
Standing in shadows waiting too long
When morning comes you find him gone
Was it simple thrill or was it foolish pride
That one day shed light one the wrong sign
(CC1)
a game with no gain
a test with no result
a lie with no truth to hide
was it worth throwing it all away
for a price already been paid
A sacrifice not meant to be
after its all over do you really see
now only questions without any answers
like a highway of nothing but detours
and you ask me why do I question why
my reluctance to accept the simple love lie
(repeat cc1)
no honor will lead to your own demise
for the deaf will never hear the cries
to kill gift of love is a dire shame
love is not a toy and its not a game
like a starving flower that's never fed
how do you test its love when its dead
he may have once known how to care
why did you test it how did you even dare
(repeat cc1)
