Reconciled

Attentively you watch me for an actual concrete sign That hope against hope it won't With your new fear align Is it truly over has she given up the fight You show up where I say I will be watch from the shadows of night More proof you never bothered to know me Your measuring by what you'd select Unloyal, unfaithful,not given to respect It boggles your mind another way I conscientiously choose to elect I see you poorly dealing with what your Your own hands have wrought You sense disconnection fear Coming rejection more than you feared getting caught The only concern as you carelessly Set this whole nightmare in motion Playing at length with another's heart Without love,with no whiff of devotion Full circle you drew cause it's all about you and immediate gratification When you play you must pay and it seems it's payday for your regular fidelity vacation You thought it was over When you walked away It seems that your lover had something to (the old ball and chain)left to say I knew the moment I answered the door Saw the determined face Of your recent scorned whore Knew she came not As the bearer of good news Maybe you kids can Still work this thing out Know I've not a dog In this race theres no doubt So don't let me stand in your way
