Lyrics

read in my eyes I can't talk about it
for so long it's been the same way
no words are fit to describe it
not that it matters much anyway, anyhow

i stood and waited at the station anticipating you would come
i had to wait in frustration wondering where you could be
i felt the ground shake under me, i heard kafuffle all around
a sudden fear came over me that felt familiar somehow

why did you lie?
(why do you think you lie to me, why do you think you lie to me)
why did you lie?

when did i last hear your name outspoken
or whispered in an affectionate way?
nothing i wouldn't share with all the passers-by
done in a hard and unapologizing way

i waited many times over what it would take to give it up
i must have counted all the headlights that came and went past my way
another dull conversation would briefly confiscate my mind
for just a fraction of an instant in an expanding waste of time

why did you lie to me?
why did you lie to yourself?
why did you lie to me?
why did you lie?

checklisting every possibility, more than i'd ever hope to memorize
wishing away systematically the dim reflections of tired eyes

why did you lie to me?
why did you lie to yourself?
why did you lie to me?
why did you lie?
