Shell Game

I know you were here for a reason but why beats the heck out of me as you give me another lame excuse thinking I can't solve this mystery your sleight of hand may be real quick a shell game in which you believe but you've forgotten my magical power of seeing into hidden things we might be in the same room but we're not in the same place we do the dance and sing the songs as we both stare off into space you turn left and I turn right the moon goes behind a cloud it's not a win, it's not a loss as love shuffles away in the crowd
