Almost Asked You To Lie

Glaring morosely at the walls
Bitter tears appearing on these cheeks
Used to be content, so euphoric
Now this heart constantly weeps

Every night when laying in your arms
Softly whispering in my ear, "love you,"
Now every single second I'm wondering
Do you say the same words to her to?

It's true you've finally been caught
Now know of your lies and cheating ways
Not sure that I'm strong enough to cope
Now I think we should call it a day

You've been stringing me along all this time
Now I'm waiting for you to come back home
Worked up the courage to confront you
Trying to convince myself, I'm better of alone

Strolling through the door hours later
As the "I missed you," lie spills from your lips
Staring into your coffee brown eyes
Losing focus, I'm slowly starting to slip

As you lean in close for a hug
Smelling her perfume on your skin
Anger claws his way into my soul
Rage and misery tearing at me within

Asking you where you've been
Almost asking you to smile and lie
So I can believe in love once more
Instead of knowing this is goodbye.
