Questions and Truth
Verse 1:
He’s found a new girl
His pride beauty
He sleeps with the old one
But smiles when he sleeps beside me
I just don’t get it
A crazy double standard
It hurts to know that
There could be a third
A tear falls in place
He sees the disappointed look
That has been drawn upon my face
The artist with such precision
Knows just how to sketch in black
I wonder if he stays with her
On me, will he turn his back?
Chorus:
Questions
I can’t answer
But they hurt when I
Think about the first time
We kissed
I know he’s sorry
That he can’t be with me
All the time, everywhere
But I get upset
Knowing that he’s not here
And it hurts even more…
Thinking he might as well
Not even care.
Verse 2:
He speaks of finance
And how his clients are
I speak of romance
And chords on the guitar
But yet we’re so right
But picked the wrong time
He says he likes me
Is that such a damn crime?
Yet he can’t concur
He claims that he’s confused
Why he is still with her
But where does the trust lie
When we can’t tell the truth
I guess I’m just naïve
A vice used in our youth
(Chorus)
Bridge:
I stay up late thinking
About him throwing gentle stones
Upon my windowsill
Whispering my name
The days seem longer
The cold seems so much stronger
I’d cry some tears if I could
But I’ve drained myself out
He says, “Don’t be so cross.
Believe me if you leave
Then it’s my loss”
Quiet… Thinking hurts…
My heart… is going to burst
So slowly, and so quick
It feels so good it makes me sick
(Chorus x 2)
