Am I Living a Lie?

friday morning
off to work in your best clothes
home 3 hours late from work

can't get out of the city...
but you were there and back in three hours

went shopping
picked up furniture

must have been busy traffic

you get annoyed when i bring up these insecurities
but the past has taught me
if i need to ask if there is something going on
there probably is

a little bit of truth to every lie
no fun with guilt feelings
two lovers fighting over their own love
love you came into have
kept at arms reach

with all the worst case scenarios playing out in my head
you not disproving very many of them

love is that sense of security two people bring to eachother
the proving one another can be trusted

never seen you dolled up for me before
but have fun at work
