irony

IRONY
what she doesn't know can't kill her
what she finds out you deny
you finally earned trust from her
you can get away with lies
so the guests in your bed can please you
since she's not ready for that much
you'll tell her you were with the guys
when she asks why you missed lunch

tell the guys to cover for you
tell the girls to get out fast
cause they don't know you're only acting
you would like for her to last

the phone rings once and then again later
never give it a second thought
you'll let the answering machine get it
check it when you're not so hot
a stranger's in sleep in bed beside you
cast a fleeting glance at the time
you probably should have called her
but it's already nine fifty-five

tell the guys to cover for you
tell the girls to get out fast
cause they don't know you're only acting
you would like for her to last

you walk your guest out to her new car
fresh tire marks in the grass
go inside and fix something to eat
completely satisfied at last
you walk past the phone on the counter
remember there's a flashing light
press play on the answering machine
and she fills your ears with her cries

you say i'll be there at eight
i wait
i call you at nine
everytime a new excuse
still used
abused
i wonder
are you really mine
you didn't answer when i called
my fault
so i left at five past nine
looked inside your window
now you know
i know
why you
never have spare time

tell the guys to cover for you
tell the girls to get out fast
cause now i see you were only acting
you never wanted us to last

i should have known to never trust you
i should have known you're just a guy
i should have known to keep testing you
i should have known you'd lie

what she doesn't know can't kill her
what she finds out you deny
you finally earned trust from her
you can get away with lies

what i don't know will kill me
what i find out you still deny
you thought you'd earned trust from me
you're wrong, and i'm done with lies

final thought: take me away, tear me apart, rip my life in
shreds of paper and see that the pieces are all really
mirrors and you're the one falling down
