No Comfort In The Truth
She was acting squirrelly. Something is wrong.
I’ll just be patient. It won’t take long.
The truth will come out sooner or later.
I’d rather be pulling teeth from a gator.
Then she says it’s got to end. It’s over.
She can’t go on . It’s no field of clover.
We just don’t seem to be compatible.
It seems to be where it’s at, you know.
There is no comfort in the truth
This is driving me through the roof.
Makes me suspicious . Is she lying?
Is there another? She’s not crying.
How much longer must this go on?
Probably just until she’s gone.
There’s no comfort in the truth.
This is driving me through the roof.
I said we share most everything.
We are even both right wing.
We like much of the same things.
Any more alike would be boring.
She said don’t try to change my mind.
It’s not like something that you find.
Then put in your pocket to keep around.
I am feeling lost instead of found.
There is no comfort in the truth.
This is driving me through the roof.
Makes me suspicious. Is she lying?
Is there another? She’s not crying.
How much longer must this go on?
Probably just until she’s gone.
There is no comfort in the truth.
This is driving me through the roof.
What are you talking about?, I said.
You make me feel like I am dead.
You’re not something that I found.
Your someone I want around.
That’s the point. I’m not a “thing.”
No, I’m not trying to be mean.
What I’m saying; I’m an individual.
A living person with a free will.
There is no comfort in the truth.
This is driving me through the roof.
Makes me suspicious. Is she lying?
Is there another? She’s not crying.
How much longer must this go on?
Probably just until she’s gone.
There is no comfort in the truth.
This is driving me through the roof.
