I walked out this morning
Jus' like you said they all do
Your kiss in the morning
Had turned lie by the afternoon
Fist under light of the moon...
I begged a forgiveness that I already knew was mine
I was the canvas on which you painted your lie
All dressed in a past with no proof
Always the stranger...
Never my saviour
Never a home to come home to
So please tell me I wasted your time too
I've learned you were married
Learned how to tell a fast lie
From the cold cruel and distant
I've learned how to justify
No less than the best now will do
But you were a fever no cold shower could ever cure
This was betrayal no true soul could ever endure
This was high treason and your sentence must be
All the time that it takes to forget you
Always the stranger...
Never my saviour
And never a home to come home to
Please tell me I wasted your time too... ohhh...
In my sparseness I prayed
In your darkness I stayed
But here in the dark where the truth is found to be lies
The truth is found to be lies
What else could I do?
If this was a sickness that I contributed to
Please tell me I wasted your time too

written after a horrible relationship with an
extremely sick individual who was All About
Control 24/7... no end was in sight, so when
I look back, I can only hope I wasted as much
of his time as he did mine.
