The pictures sell the lie
It never seemed to be
I gave her all my love
She walked away from me
I asked her ten times, “What could it be like?
Could you come back and see?”
She found a reason and the kind of man that
I don’t know how to be
Didn’t I protect? Didn’t I provide?
Wasn’t I there on every second Sunday?
Doesn’t it seem like love is getting too
Love is getting too hard to take up?
And then in your own time
You just might learn to see
The kind of man I was
And how this came to be
It’s getting warmer now – what will this be like?
Shall we wait and see?
I got a reason I did this and then that:
I don’t know how to be
Maybe you’ll forgive. Maybe you’ll forget.
I still check the clock on every second Sunday
Doesn’t it seem like love is getting too
Love is getting too hard to take up?
What gets you praying to the lord?
(It doesn’t matter now.)
